Browsing the area51 thread on this subject, one comes across https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/117993/ . In other words, the fix has already been committed and is effective in KDE 4.13 . I have been running that version on one of my linux rigs since Kubuntu 14.04 came out, and I can say it's a solid release that works better than 4.12 (less resource hungry too, thanks to having ditched nepomuk).
So the best approach would be to apply a MacPorts specific patch to 4.12.5 and move to 4.13 as soon as possible.
