See https://guide.macports.org/chunked/development.patches.html (and the rest of https://guide.macports.org/chunked/ for more information on Portfile development). This patch should only be applied on pre-10.7 systems.

The VLC-devel port already uses this patch:

https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/multimedia/VLC-devel/files/dispatch_queue_serial.patch

It would be best to keep the VLC and VLC-devel ports as similar as possible, so maybe you can use (a copy of) this same patch for VLC.
