Comment (by Dave-Allured):

 I decided that the correct answer is that there are actually two bugs, a
 base bug and a port bug.  Let's assign this ticket as the port bug.  Here
 is a more obvious way to display the circular dependency.
 {{{
 > port rdeps py39-attrs | grep attrs
 The following ports are dependencies of py39-attrs @20.3.0_0:
     py39-attrs
 }}}
 This glosses over the fact that one of the dependencies is only a test
 dependency.  This should not matter.  In Macports, all circular
 dependencies must be regarded as invalid, regardless of which phase they
 might belong to.  I have not found any documentation to indicate
 otherwise.

 See https://trac.macports.org/ticket/59289 for discussion of improving the
 base to detect circular dependencies.
