Comment:

 The problem seems to be that if an old copy of the port is already
 installed, the new port will in some cases try to link to the old
 libraries in ${prefix} rather than refer to the new libraries being built.
 This actually works for minor updates where the old libraries and the new
 ones have the same file name and ABI, but fails for major updates where
 the file
 name changes as in my case of upgrading from the 2.22 branch to the 2.24
 branch.

 The upstream developers apparently didn't envision this situation
 expecting that each install would be a fresh one
 or the old version uninstalled before trying to install the new one.

 So will close the ticket with this simple workaround:  rather than using
 upgrade, uninstall or deactivate the old
 version then install the new one.  Port upgraded to version 2.24.3 in
 r45338, r45339, r45340.
