:info:build ld: warning: dylib (...) was built for newer macOS version (11.2) than being linked (11.0)

This is probably not a problem. If it is, it can be solved by increasing the revision of the ports that provide those libraries to rebuild them, or updating them to a newer version if one is available. It occurred because those libraries were built on macOS 11.2 by MacPorts 2.6.4 which did not fully support macOS versions greater than 11.0.x. That problem was fixed in MacPorts 2.7.0.

These are certainly problems. I don't see any -lboost... or /opt/local/lib/libboost....dylib in the log so maybe that just needs to be added in the right places. Surely this port must've worked before and I'm not sure what broke since then, but my hunch would be the migration to the boost portgroup and multiple separate boost ports. Maybe this port needs additional changes for that to work properly.

If you follow the "referenced from" messages all the way down the chain until the end, the undefined symbols error appears to be related to usd_writer_hair.cc, usd_hierarchy_iterator.cc, etc., which #include portions of the USD library, which is one of Blender's dependencies. The USD port was also migrated to the boost portgroup at the same time as Blender, and as far as I can tell, the USD port is still functioning fine? I'll do some testing to see whether I can reproduce and troubleshoot the error on my local machine.

If the other warnings can be resolved by a simple revbump, I'll take care of those after working on the undefined symbols error, since that one prevents building.
