New description:

 It's not clear how many macOS releases this port is failing to build for,
 as the history has aged out. However, I can confirm that it's failing for
 Big Sur, based on recent buildbot attempts. I've also tested locally with
 macOS 10.13, with identical failures to what's occurring on our builders.

 Of note, I'm seeing numerous failures in the configure log.

 Plus these two key failures in main.log, with the caveat that they may
 simply be side-effects of earlier configure failures:
 {{{
 :info:configure checking for glib-2.0 >= 2.16.0 gobject-2.0 sqlite3
 libplist >= 1.0 gmodule-2.0... no
 :info:configure configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.16.0
 gobject-2.0 sqlite3 libplist >= 1.0 gmodule-2.0) were not met:
 :info:configure No package 'libplist' found
 }}}

 Both logs attached, for local 10.13 build attempt.

 Big Sur x86_64 build log available here:

 [https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-
 11_x86_64-builder/builds/14953/steps/install-port/logs/stdio]

 This failure is blocking downstream ports from building. Is anyone
 interested in taking a look?
