Don't use the curl library installed by that MacPorts installation or it will break if you later deactivate the curl port. Instead, use a manually-compiled curl library or a curl library installed by a different MacPorts installation.
Thanks! I think I'll do that later.  How does it work with updates, when it
updates itself… it will cont to use my config?

Perfect! That did the trick… for now.

$ cd /usr/lib && sudo mv libcurl.4.dylib{,.orig}
$ sudo ln -s /opt/local/lib/libcurl.4.dylib .

At least I can use it for testing and revert back later.
