Comment (by majoc-at-astro):

 This just in:

 * `port install emacs` installs precompiled binaries of `emacs @26.3_2`,
 which work fine.
 * `port -s install emacs` builds `emacs @26.3_2` from source without
 `+x11`; the result dies on launch.
 * Installing `emacs-devel @20200417_0+x11` builds from source and installs
 OK on my 10.15 mactop; result successfully runs, and bills itself as `GNU
 Emacs 27.0.91`.
 * Latter build took rather longer, and spends much of that time running
 `emacs-bootstrap`.  (Curious, but I'll resist the urge to speculate
 further, lest I spoil the kill.)

 I'll use `emacs-devel +x11` in active service for a few days to check for
 anomalies, and see what our build servers make of it (on macOS 10.13--
 10.15); but I think we have a workaround, Houston.
