New description:

 Neovim is built around luajit, which is based on lua 5.1.

 The neovim build process creates a C library, `nlua0`, which is
 subsequently used by luajit later in the build process.

 In MacPorts, `nlua0` gets built against the default `lua`, which is
 currently version 5.3. When luajit tries to then use this `nlua0`, the
 neovim build fails, because the built library includes symbols that don't
 exist in 5.1.

 In the short term, `port deactivate lua && port install neovim && port
 activate lua` works around this issue.

 The following [https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/25223
 GitHub PR] updates the neovim port to add the proper include directory for
 lua 5.1 to cmake, and should resolve the issue.

 Ultimately, some changes to the lua packaging and/or docs would help
 prevent future ports from breaking.
