New description:

 Doc generation was recently enabled for this port. And during that phase
 of the build, `valadoc` segfaults on our 10.10 and 10.11 buildbots:

 {{{
 make[3]: *** [docs_vala] Segmentation fault: 11
 }}}

 Testing locally, the segfault doesn't occur for either macOS release. Next
 step is to re-install `vala` locally - forcing use of buildbot binaries -
 to ensure the latter aren't stale.

 On a semi-related note: Docs should be requested via a new variant `docs`,
 enabled by default. That would also allow us to sidestep the issue, if
 necessary, by defaulting to disabled.

 Yep, that clears things up!
