Comment(by aguynamedryan+macports@…):

 Thanks swebster and sck!  That helped quite a bit.  I should have been
 smarter and asked for the output of "port provides /opt/local/bin/latex"
 as that's what I really needed.

 Anyway, I believe I've tracked down the issue.  If you aren't interested
 in the cause, skip this comment as I'll be posting my proposed solution in
 the next comment.

 A change introduced in git commit 79086e770e310ae04ad245546b341d61b9c9cb32
 of sane-backends causes sane-backends to build a sane.ps file if the latex
 program is present on the system.  sane-backends will try to make a
 sane.ps file which relies on sane.dvi which relies on sane.ind which runs
 the 'latex' and 'makeindex' programs on the doc/sane.tex file.

 The sane.tex file uses the 'changebar' and 'html' packages.  Even after
 installing a large portion of the texlive ports, I don't have those
 package files for latex installed and latex generates an error when it
 can't find the 'changebar.sty' or 'html.sty' files.  As a result, the
 build of sane-backends fails.
