Comment:

 I would guess a circular dependency was created because of the use of a
 compiler provided by a port, due to the Xcode compiler being unusable. The
 circular dependency made it fail during dependency calculation, whereas
 the error about the Xcode license is only printed after that, when
 starting to build a port from source. I'm not sure how we would go about
 fixing that.
