Comment (by dcamper):

 I was able to get tomio-arisaka's patch to work, both with sbcl 2.2.2 and
 after attempting the 2.2.4 update.

 The problem does not seem to lie with sbcl, exactly.  The problem is with
 this port using an old -- and incompatible -- version of sbcl to bootstrap
 the compilation of the newer sbcl versions.  The fix is to either use a
 compatible version of sbcl or to use ccl for the bootstrap.

 I would like to see the default logic of the port changed to something
 like:

 1. If sbcl is currently installed, bootstrap using installed sbcl; else
 2. If ccl is current installed, bootstrap using installed ccl; else
 3. Perform current action (download sbcl), hopefully with a newer,
 compatible version

 For the record, here are my exact steps for reproducing tomio-arisaka's
 work (note that if you copy the patch from the comment text you will have
 to fix a bit of formatting; I will try to attach a cleaned-up version to
 this bug report):

 # Grab the sbcl distribution
 sudo port fetch sbcl

 # Change directory to what was downloaded
 cd $(port dir sbcl)

 # Make a copy of the Portfile; the copy is
 # what is used as the source for the patch
 cp Portfile Portfile.orig

 # Apply the patch (which assumes is in your
 # Downloads folder and named sbcl_patch.diff)
 patch -p0 < ~/Downloads/sbcl_patch.diff

 # Build SBCL using a previously-installed CCL
 sudo port build sbcl +a_ccl

 # Install what you just built
 sudo port -s install sbcl +a_ccl
