Comment (by devernay):

 Here's how I manually fixed it, for those intersested to make a proper
 patch. the issue is the the madiadb source tree includes a file called
 "VERSION" and ctsddef from  llvm-9 includes <version>, which includes that
 file instead, because of the case insensitive filesystem.
 fixed by:

 - renaming mariadb-5.5.66/VERSION to mariadb-5.5.66/VERSION.TXT

 - replacing "/VERSION" with "/VERSION.TXT" (two places) in
 mariadb-5.5.66/cmake/mysql_version.cmake

 Those files should be in
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_databases_mariadb/mariadb/work/
 after a first unsuccessful build
