Comment (by steve+macports@…):

 Hi, I just want to reiterate that if you only want to install the nsis
 port without fiddling around with patches, it should be possible using the
 following workaround:

 1. Select a gcc port - anything other than "none" should work, but you are
 likely to have apple-gcc42 already available from previous failed builds
 of nsis.  The idea is to change what scons finds when it calls out to gcc,
 so PATH is important here too.  By default it will find /usr/bin/gcc, ie
 clang, which will fail on 10.9+.

 {{{
 $ sudo port select gcc apple-gcc42
 }}}

 2. Install nsis

 {{{
 $ sudo port clean nsis
 $ sudo port install nsis
 }}}

 3. Optionally restore the selected gcc port, eg:

 {{{
 $ sudo port select gcc none
 }}}


 I'm glad to hear that the patches are working for someone else.  The
 patches to SConstruct have been accepted upstream, and the other bug has
 been resolved such that nsis trunk now compiles with clang / libc++.  That
 one's not a simple backport though, so I stand by the currently attached
 patches for nsis 2.  When nsis 3 is released, with a bit of luck it will
 be possible to simplify the port to build without any patchfiles or
 compiler constraints.
