Comment (by emcrisostomo):

 I started experiencing the same issue today, after upgrading the port to
 {{{emacs @26.3_6}}}.  In my case, I have no variants enabled.  I tried to
 uninstall it, purge unused dependencies, reinstalling it, but to no avail.


 In short:

 {{{

 Also:

 {{{
 ~ otool -L /opt/local/bin/emacs
 /opt/local/bin/emacs:
         /opt/local/lib/libxml2.2.dylib (compatibility version 12.0.0,
 current version 12.10.0)
         /opt/local/lib/libncurses.6.dylib (compatibility version 6.0.0,
 current version 6.0.0)

         /opt/local/lib/libz.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
 version 1.2.11)
         /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
 version 1281.100.1)
 }}}

 Perhaps it's a coincidence: yesterday night I installed the macOS Catalina
 10.15.5 update.  I have no recollection of actually running {{{emacs}}}
 since, until I discovered the problem this morning after the port update.

 Cheers,

 Enrico
