Comment(by MacPorts@…):

 From my point of view, dvips suddenly stopped working.  It *seemed* to
 happen after I opened and saved an old PostScript figure in Adobe
 Illustrator (because its minus signs had suddenly changed to boxes),
 thereby replacing very old PostScript with newly generated PostScript.  On
 my Linux system (running texlive-latex version 2007), there was no
 problem.  On that system, texnansi.enc is provided by texlive-texmf-dvips,
 but that package apparently does not exist in the MacPorts structure.

 At the very least, I would add a dependency of the package containing
 dvips on the package containing texnansi.enc (said to be texlive-fonts-
 extra), since dvips does not produce a particularly helpful error message
 when the file is needed and missing.
