Comment (by awlabrador):

 Thanks!  Removing gcc8/libgcc8 did indeed fix the problem.

 That ton of stuff was far worse yesterday, before I ran port uninstall
 inactive and cleared out a lot of more obviously unused things, and there
 were also things like other variations of Python 3 and related Python
 packages, and even more versions of gcc/libgcc that I've been removing
 manually.  It's a work in progress.

 Replying to [comment:5 kencu]:
 > the source of your headache is your gcc8/libgcc8 installation, which is
 both obsolete, and calls in all the ancient libgcc versions.

 enema.
