Comment (by ballapete):

 My experience with `cxx11-1.1.tcl` and `texlive-bin`'s `Portfile` is
 rather bad. Neither on PPC Tiger, Mac OS X 10.4.11, nor on PPC Leopard,
 Mac OS X 10.5.8, the settings in  `cxx11-1.1.tcl` are able to override
 those in `Portfile` – assuming it's not necessary to add a line

 {{{
 PortGroup       cxx11 1.1
 }}}

 to `Portfile`. The builds only then succeeded when "`texlive-bin`" and
 "`configure.compiler=macports-gcc-6`" where the only arguments to `port «
 options » upgrade`. Maybe GCC 5 can as well build the port successfully.
 I'll try that next time when the automatic upgrade of `texlive-bin` will
 fail automatically again.
