Comment(by ejtttje@…):

 The svg2pdf author replied to me, and declined to provide a dedicated
 svg2pdf package because it turns out there is already a 'rsvg-convert'
 tool bundled with librsvg.  I confirmed this is already available in
 MacPorts, and produces byte-identical output to the svg2pdf update I
 attached above, but also accepts additional arguments for controlling
 zoom, background, etc.  Considering rsvg-convert is a supported tool of
 the main librsvg library, it clearly seems to be the preferable route vs.
 this unmaintained version.

 So, I see two options:

 a. Convert this svg2pdf port to a dependance on librsvg with a simple
 wrapper script, e.g.:
 {{{
 #!/bin/sh
 if [ $# -lt 2 -o "$1" = "-h" -o "$1" = "--help" ] ; then
         echo "FAIL: usage: $0 input_file.svg output_file.pdf"
         exit 255;
 fi
 rsvg-convert -f pdf -o "$2" "$1"
 }}}
 b. Remove this port, perhaps with some kind of reference or alias to
 librsvg's tool (I don't think MacPorts has such a thing?)
