Comment (by tbaumgard):

 It seems my knowledge of how macOS does things with regards to users and
 groups is outdated because it doesn't even look like wheel is being used
 anymore. Either that or I'm mixing up things with my knowledge of other
 systems.

 In any case and to be clear, I have two user accounts set up via Settings
 for security reasons. One, tim, is a "Standard" user account. The other,
 admin, is an "Administrator" account. When I want to use a command that
 requires elevated priveleges, including MacPorts, I {{{ su -l admin}}} and
 then go from there.

 So, with that knowledge, the following is the behavior I saw.

 **MacPorts:**

 sudo port install spice-server => hangs at /opt/local/bin/gst-inspect-1.0
 appsrc while configuring

 **In the work directory for spice-server:**

 As root via admin: sudo /opt/local/bin/gst-inspect-1.0 appsrc => succeeds

 As admin: /opt/local/bin/gst-inspect-1.0 appsrc => hangs

 As tim: /opt/local/bin/gst-inspect-1.0 appsrc => succeeds
