It even updated clang 5.0 itself (which I don't really appreciate) Eventually it craps out on gtk-doc, with an error during configuration (somewhat unusual).. Now, why gtk-doc is required is beyond me; I can certainly live without documentations. Also, I have a bunch of gtkdoc-<something> files in /opt/local/bin so I think I may hae gtk-doc already.

I see:

This file was extended by gtk-doc config.status 1.29, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.69.  Invocation command line was

  CONFIG_FILES    = 
  CONFIG_HEADERS  = 
  CONFIG_LINKS    = 
  CONFIG_COMMANDS = 
  $ ./config.status 

on mbp-17

config.status:1261: creating Makefile
config.status:1413: error: could not create Makefile


Which is a weird error --- is your disk full or something?

anyway, 

sudo port clean gtk-doc 
sudo port -v install gtk-doc 

should work, did for me:

$ port -v installed gtk-doc
The following ports are currently installed:
  gtk-doc @1.29_2+python36 (active) platform='darwin 10' archs='noarch' date='2019-01-06T17:27:05-0800'
