In that case, your best bet is to uninstall the texlive and asymptote
ports and either compile it yourself, see if you can get one of the
precompiled binaries to work, or install it with homebrew (not
recommended; due to how homebrew installs into /usr/local, this could
cause problems with your MacPorts install).

You could also try altering the Asymptote Portfile to not depend on
texlive. I'm not sure how extensive these changes would have to be.
