According to

http://wincent.com/knowledge-base/Installing_PAC_ 
(Perl_Audio_Converter)_on_Mac_OS_X

it is only necessary to disable the assembly optimizations on Intel  
Macs, at least in flac 1.1.2. Now I just installed flac 1.1.4_0  
successfully on a MacBook Pro. Looks like yves just updated the port  
to 1.2.1 yesterday and I hadn't synced. So I synced and tried to  
update to 1.2.1_0 and now I got the error reported. Looks like flac  
has regressed between 1.1.4 and 1.2.1!

I think I've fixed it for now in r29798, so wait 30 minutes or so,  
selfupdate, and then you should be able to install flac on Intel Macs.
