Comment (by mtb19@…):

 Here's a possible work-around (for systems with `dseditgroup`):

 {{{
 % # add current user to procmod
 % sudo dseditgroup -o edit -a "$( whoami )" -t user procmod
 % port install gdb
 ...
 % # remove user from procmod
 % sudo dseditgroup -o edit -d "$( whoami )" -t user procmod
 }}}

 Adapted from [https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202112 this source].
 You'll still get this warning after installation:

 {{{
 You will need to make sure
 /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.taskgated.plist has the '-p'
 option, e.g.
             <key>ProgramArguments</key>
             <array>
                     <string>/usr/libexec/taskgated</string>
                     <string>-sp</string>
             </array>

 Due to kernel caching, you usually need to restart Mac OS X for this
 option to effect.
 }}}

 But at least it installs. (If you're curious about the motivation of the
 warning, see [http://gaetanmasson.com/use-gdb-from-macports-on-
 os-x-10-9-mavericks/ this explanation].)
