This is due to the recent update of vala to version 0.34.0.  The parameter that specifies the vala version to libgda5
needs to be updated to match.  Unfortunately, once this is fixed, libgda5 fails to build due issues with the latest
version of sqlite3. See https://trac.macports.org/ticket/52179.

I hope to have a fix for both issues committed in the next day or so. Thanks for your patience in the meantime.  If
you'd like to file ticket for this issue feel free to do so.
