Comment (by elventear):

 It was not clear that I had to uninstall other lua packages, so I decided
 to try and did not work. These are the steps that I followed:

 1. port uninstall lua* (breaking some packages).
 2. port reclaim.
 3. apply patch.
 4. fix broken packages, which installs lua and lua52 back.
 5. port install neovim.

 And it failed the same for me.

 I was able to install successfully with the following steps:

 1. selfupdate (i.e. no patch)
 2. port uninstall lua* (breaking some packages)
 3. port reclaim
 4. port install neovim
 5. fix broken packages.

 Digging a bit deeper about the missing symbol, I think luaL_checkversion
 was added to Lua in version 5.2, and neovim uses Lua 5.1 and I have not
 been able to find that function in any of the Lua 5.1 docs. I wonder if
 the problem is that something is linking against the wrong version of Lua
 when there are other versions installed.
