Is there a ticket about this?

The place to fix it would be in src/port1.0/portconfigure.tcl in proc portconfigure::configure_get_sdkroot, changing some or possibly all "return {}" statements to "return {/}". If you haven't already, you might try making that modification in your local copy of MacPorts (on macOS 10.13 or earlier) and using it for awhile and verifying that this doesn't break any ports.
