Comment(by johannes.schrimpf@…):

 I could compile the packet by overriding the libffi compilation in the
 ctypes setup.py file, line 167:

 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_..._py-
 ctypes/work/ctypes-1.0.1/setup.py

 changing from:
         build_ext.build_ext.build_extensions(self)
 to
         #build_ext.build_ext.build_extensions(self)


 I do not know if this skips to much code, but it did install for me. I can
 import ctypes in python, but i did not test the functionality.
 Maybe it helps to build a patch or a workaround.
