Comment(by skiskywalker@…):

 Sorry I've been away for a while but I'm back! I tried the patch shortly
 after mroman suggested it but had some problems. First I had to tell diff
 to change
 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/multimedia/ffmpeg/Portfile
 instead of
 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/svn.macports.org/trunk/dports/multimedia/ffmpeg/Portfile
 (which I don't have) and then, after much compiling, MacPorts said:

 {{{Error: Cannot install ffmpeg for the arch(s) 'i386 x86_64' because
 Error: its dependency XviD is only installed for the arch 'i386'
 Error: and does not have a universal variant.
 Error: Unable to execute port: architecture mismatch}}}

 Not that I need a 64-bit build right now — I was just trying the
 +universal variant as recommended by mroman. Anyway, today I updated my
 MacPorts to 2.0.1 then updated all the installed ports. Finally I ran
 {{{sudo port -c install ffmpeg}}} and received the same error message as
 in my first post above. I would still love to be able to use ffmpeg,
 though!
