I kept trying things until I ended up doing a total fresh install again following updating to Xcode 9.4. Starting entirely from scratch and just doing a plain "port install mpv" with no variants or anything else installed first I still get the exact same error where configure fails on

Just checking, is the lua52 port installed and active?

$ port installed lua52
The following ports are currently installed:
  lua52 @5.2.4_1 (active)

Once it's updated maybe that'll resolve it by itself. Although Ken indicated it built, so yeah, not really sure what else to try if a clean install fails as the first port, although I'd be happy to give it a shot if there are suggestions.

The problem can probably only be debugged further by looking into
config.log, which contains the details how and where mpv expected to
find Lua. Use this command to find this file after the failed build attempt:

$ find $(port work mpv) -name config.log

Also, to make another guess on what is going on, what is the result of
the following command on your system?

$ pkg-config --libs --cflags lua-5.2
-I/opt/local/include/lua-5.2 -L/opt/local/lib/lua-5.2 -llua-5.2 -lm
