You had xorg-libXt installed with the +universal variant, which was required for xorg-libXmu because it too was installed with the +universal variant. When you installed xorg-libXt with the +flat_namespace variant but without the +universal variant, that broke xorg-libXmu. MacPorts "fixed" it by reactivating the copy of xorg-libXt you had installed with the +universal variant but without the +flat_namespace variant.

If you want both variants, you have to specify both variants:

sudo port install xorg-libXt +flat_namespace +universal
