Comment:

 gmp does not require mpfr; gmp has no dependencies at all:

 {{{
 $ port deps gmp
 gmp @6.0.0_0 has no dependencies.
 }}}

 The error I see in the log is:

 {{{
 :info:configure dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libmpfr.4.dylib
 :info:configure   Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/gawk
 :info:configure   Reason: image not found
 }}}

 So gmp, like most other ports with a configure script, uses an awk
 program. In this case, it detected that you have the gawk port installed,
 and decided to use that. gawk is linked with mpfr on your system (as I see
 it is on my system), but the mpfr library is missing.

 It turns out that gawk does not declare a dependency on mpfr:

 {{{
 $ port deps gawk
 Full Name: gawk @4.1.0_0
 Extract Dependencies: xz
 Library Dependencies: readline, gettext
 }}}

 This dependency needs to be added, and the revision increased.
