Comment (by raimue):
I am aware of the policy change by Apple. The problem is that a self-
compiled kernel extensions will never work on macOS >= 10.11 Yosemite.
There is no code to handle this in MacPorts. The only option is to use a
binary signed by upstream with a Developer ID certificate, that was
granted permission to distribute kernel extensions. It cannot be signed
locally on users' systems.
As an example, [https://github.com/macports/macports-
ports/blob/master/fuse/osxfuse/Portfile osxfuse] has an extra complicated
procedure as it will build the kernel extension for older systems from
source. However, as these are considered legacy systems, providing a
Portfile that supports only macOS >= 10.11 Yosemite by using the binary
.dmg would be okay.
