Ticket 57137 is about the need for us to modify the xcode portgroup to set -derivedDataPath when using recent versions of Xcode. This is needed to prevent build failures of ports that build using xcodebuild. I do intent to look into that as I update graphviz to a more recent version.

graphviz-gui builds using xcodebuild, but graphviz does not. So that problem will not prevent graphviz from building.

There have been a few other reports lately of graphviz build failures for other reasons; if you're experiencing a graphviz build failure, see if one of them applies.
