Comment (by kencu):
You will find that, in general, MacPorts ports are very robust. They tend
to be well thought out, carefully tested, and in most cases, they only
include the final, accepted fix that the upstream authors want. That is
why the ports all work so well, in general, almost all 20,000 of them, and
often all the way back to MacOSX Tiger. That is amazing.
There is a price for that kind of thoroughness, however. MacPorts is
stricter about it's fixes. Quick one-offs are completely frowned upon, for
good reason often. The final fixes take longer.
So if you're breaking new ground, like a now OS version, there will be
delays like this. If you can, it helps a great deal to understand what a
local repository is <https://guide.macports.org/chunked/development.local-
repositories.html>, how to make one and use it, and how to do quick `one-
off` fixes for yourself like this. Most of these fixes can be found with 5
or at most 10 minutes of Googling, and adding a small patch or an
environment variable define to a Portfile is trivial once you do one or
two.
