Comment (by kencu):

 initializer_list is a c++11 feature
 <http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/initializer_list>.

 I would recommend that you follow the instructions in
 LibcxxOnOlderSystems, and upgrade your 10.7.5 machine to that
 configuration. Part of that configuration is to make clang-3.8 your
 default compiler, which will handle all further c++11 ports with no
 troubles or further input from you.

 More and more ports need c++11, and if you do this, you will cover them
 all with no further adjustments on your end. However, it does mean you'll
 build all ports from source, which takes some time, but otherwise works
 very well. I have my 10.6.8 machine set up like this, and lyx just
 installed on that system without any hassle.

 {{{
 $ port -v installed lyx
 The following ports are currently installed:
   LyX @2.2.2_0+python27 (active) platform='darwin 10' archs='x86_64'
 date='2017-03-28T18:10:09-0700'
 }}}

 Your other option is to post up build failures like this when you come
 across them, and people will update the portfiles as needed to include
 c++11 coverage. This takes time, and won't solve your immediate issues.

 By the way, thanks for the pointer to lyx -- looks like a great piece of
 software!
