https://trac.macports.org/ticket/34786

I caused this by adding the kerberos5 dependency to cyrus-sasl2:

https://trac.macports.org/changeset/94003

But just removing that dependency is not enough, because cyrus-sasl2 does opportunistically link with kerberos5 if it is there. I would appreciate it if someone else can take a look at the ticket, make a decision about what the best fix is, and provide a patch or commit a fix.
