Comment (by devans@…):

 The problem here is not with gtk-doc but with py27-xml2 which is being
 loaded by itstool during the build process.  py27-xml2 is usually
 installed via binary archive which is built on the buildbots using
 python27 built with the default variants (not with +ucs4).  As Ryan has
 said, the recommended solution is to avoid using python27 +ucs4 which does
 not provide the same symbols as the default version.  If you insist on
 using python27 +ucs4 then you may need to rebuild py27-xml2 (and possibly
 others) locally using the -s option to build from source using your python
 version rather than loading the prebuilt binary archive.
 {{{
 sudo port -ns upgrade --force py27-xml2
 }}}

 I haven't tried doing this so no guarantees.  Best to stick with the
 default version if at all possible.
