Comment:

 It also happens for me if I build from source right now on Monterey, so
 it's not OS-specific.

 The problem was caused 16 hours ago when
 [changeset:3e8b01be2045bf28dc6f92f755d01acfe7024b55/macports-ports the
 port was switched to use the makefile portgroup].

 The libutf8proc Makefile sets:

 {{{
 prefix=/usr/local
 }}}

 The Portfile sets:

 {{{
 makefile.prefix_name \
                     prefix
 }}}

 which causes the makefile portgroup to set `prefix=/usr/local` as an
 environment variable (instead of `PREFIX=/usr/local` as it would otherwise
 do) ''but any variable set by a Makefile overrides anything set as an
 environment variable''. The solution is to tell the makefile portgroup to
 append this as an argument, rather than set it as an environment variable,
 so that it overrides what was set in the Makefile:

 {{{
 makefile.override-append \
                     PREFIX
 }}}
