Comment (by urilabob@…):

 Thanks Vince; sorry for the delay, I've been away and without access to a
 high-enough-speed internet connection. I tried your suggestion, but still
 got:
 {{{
 :info:build f951: internal compiler error: Abort trap:info:build gfortran-
 mp-4.8: internal compiler error: Abort trap (program f951)
 :info:build ../libtool: line 1125: 79017 Abort trap
 /opt/local/bin/dragonegg-3.3-gfortran-mp-4.8 -pipe -Os -m64 -pipe -Os -m64
 -c ranlib/genbet.f -fno-common -o ranlib/.libs/genbet.o
 }}}
 I'll attach the full log.

 I only partially understand macports (using it by analogy with yum and
 aptitude rather than deep understanding), so I may have missed something.
 But it looks to me like the problem may lie in some component shared
 between gfortran and dragonegg-gfortran, rather than at a deeper level (if
 it were the same bug as #40439, as suggested by kurtjaeke, then I guess
 switching from gcc to clang should have fixed it, no?).
