Comment (by William.Capehart@…):

 I have found what is likely '''''not''''' a best practices-friendly
 solution by trespassing into the ''/usr'' area:

 I have commented-out line 40 of /usr/include/mach/vm_types.h  Before this,
 I DID try to comment out its counterpart line in
 libgcc/work/gcc-4.8.1/gcc/fortran/module.c but this produced far more
 errors, and went to vm_types.h instead.  I was able to compile libgcc
 (4.8.2) and gcc48.  And I restored the vm_types.h to before and moved
 forward with building '''mpich''', '''netcdf''', and other macport builds.
 I have only had a problem with '''ncarg''' but that may be an unrelated
 matter and am submitting the problem there'''''' under separate cover.

 I do not know if this qualifies as a "works for me fix."
