Comment (by ADimits):

 I figured out roughly what the problem was.

 The test in the portfile that trigers the build failure is

 post-fetch {
         if {![file exists ${python.pkgd}/boost/mpi.so]} {
             return -code error "${name} needs boost installed with a mpi
 variant "

 So, I went looking for boost/mpi.so in the python3.6 site packages
 directory. It wasn't there. It turned out that the boost variant installed
 by the attempts to install dolfin or py-ffc was

 boost-1.66.0_3+mpich_devel+no_single+no_static+python27

 which is not the one they actually need. I have not figured out what
 controls this choice of boost variant, but at present the fix/kludge seems
 to be to manually install boost with the +python36 variant instead of
 letting the boost or py-ffc choose the variant.
