Comment (by Dave-Allured):

 The discussion in #71857 leads to this patch, which I think would fix this
 particular `IOMainPort` build error on BigSur/OS 11: \\
 https://github.com/koucyuu/qemu_catalina_patches/blob/master/patch-qemu-
 block-file-posix.diff

 So how far does MacPorts want to go, patching QEMU to support older OS
 versions that upstream is actively discouraging?  Tickets on both MacPorts
 and QEMU suggest ongoing interest within the legacy Mac user base.
