Comment (by ryandesign):

 The patch is for Marius to apply to the port. It will cause the port to
 exit with a more intelligible error message telling you what's wrong,
 instead of the error you got.

 Unfortunately, TeXShop3 now requires Xcode 9 to build. That means it
 cannot be built on El Capitan anymore. It could possibly ''run'' on El
 Capitan if built on a later version of macOS, but that's not how MacPorts
 works.

 TeXShop3 used to support earlier versions of Xcode. It would be possible
 for Marius to code the port so that it uses an earlier version of TeXShop3
 (in fact, an earlier version of 3.88) on those systems, if he wanted to go
 to the effort to do that.
