Glad you found a solution!

Do you want us to include the Portfile in the MacPorts tree?

This binary package is built with /opt/local as prefix. This will cause
problems when somebody has MacPorts installed and also installs your
binary package. See
  http://trac.macports.org/wiki/ProblemHotlist#xmlwf
for an example of this. I suggest you create a separate MacPorts
installation in a different prefix (e.g., /opt/birdfont) and use that to
build your binary package. See
  https://guide.macports.org/#installing.macports.source
on how to configure MacPorts for a prefix other than /opt/local.

OK, weird. I would have expected it to fail, but apparently the loader
does some magic here.
