Comment (by kencu):
at the moment, alex and most (all?) of the ghc infrastructure are not
working on systems < 10.13 in MacPorts.
eg:
https://ports.macports.org/port/alex/builds/
If you can roll back to the last working version you have of the software
you want (texlive-bin) you might be OK for a while. You can do this by
activating an already-installed version, if you have it:
{{{
sudo port activate texlive-bin
}}}
there can be troubles with this, as when some things are updated and some
things are not updated, things get out-of-sync and failures can happen.
Some of us are working on getting the ghc stuff working on older systems
again. It is possible.
