Comment (by jjstickel@…):

 I agree that there is not a compelling reason to have multiple versions of
 paraview ports. I've attached a standalone Portfile for paraview (ver.
 4.2; there are problems with 4.3 and 4.4:  https://github.com/OpenFOAM
 /ThirdParty-dev/). This portfile installs Paraview as an application,
 i.e., all files go in /Applications/MacPorts/paraview.app. This follows
 the default method of installation on mac
 (http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView:Build_And_Install#On_Mac:).
 Paraview is a beast of a program, and the installation is a bit strange. I
 had to resort to overriding destroot to make the install work right.

 Also, in order to use the python modules, the user will need to modify
 their PYTHONPATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables (see the
 notes in the Portfile). Further, paraview installs its own vtk. I found
 that this causes a segfault if I try to use Mayavi after including
 Paraview's vtk libraries in my DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. Building paraview with
 external vtk libraries has been considered by the developers but is not
 functioning yet
