 Why is port not able to use what's already there? And worked before being
 deactivated for other purposes?

Comment (by ryandesign):

 Is this the same problem you reported in #74158? It appears that when
 MacPorts wants to install a dependency, it doesn't consider one that's
 installed but inactive if it was not installed with default variants.
 (Here, you have curl installed with +ares which is not a default variant.)
