Comment (by jwz at jwz.org):

 I've pretty much given up on trying to use MacPorts to install
 Image::Magick, since it seems to be pathologically incapable of ever doing
 so.

 I have since discovered that there's a completely separate way of
 installing it, though: instead of installing p5-perlmagick, you can
 instead do

 port install ImageMagick +lcms +perl +jbig +q32

 Perhaps the p5-perlmagick package should be deprecated in favor of that?

 Anyway, that +perl business seems to result in a higher likelihood of
 having a working Image::Magick... but only at the cost of forcing you to
 install a complete separate copy of Perl, since there's a ridiculous,
 useless dependency on a specific version of Perl in there.

 I find having two copies of Perl on my system incredibly inconvenient
 (since, depending on what $PATH is, I never know which one I'm going to
 get) so that's a deal-breaker for me: I won't install any MacPorts package
 that includes a dependency on Perl rather than just making use of the
 Apple-shipped Perl installation.

 Meaning, I'm still compiling ImageMagick by hand every time.  What a
 waste.
