Comment(by cal@…):

 I fear there might be no easy fix.

 The problem is caused by the tag values used for two menu entries in the
 menu bar switching the text encoding to UTF-16 (little and big endian).
 Since `NSStringEncoding` is an integer the tag value of these menu entries
 directly represents the encoding to be used
 (`NSUTF16BigEndianStringEncoding = 0x90000100 = 2415919360` and
 `NSUTF16LittleEndianStringEncoding = 0x94000100 = 2483028224`). Both of
 these values fit into 32 bit, but both have the MSB set (which means they
 would be negative if interpreted in a signed fashion).

 Could you try editing MainMenu.xib and replacing those numbers with their
 signed interpretations in decimal representation, i.e.
 {{{
 sudo port clean HexFiend
 sudo port patch HexFiend
 cd $(port work HexFiend)/HexFiend-2.1.2/English.lproj
 sudo -u macports sed -E -e 's/2415919360/-1879047936/g' -e
 's/2483028224/-1811939072/g' -i '' MainMenu.xib
 sudo port build HexFiend
 }}}
 and see if it still breaks?
