If you are on 10.8 or earlier, maybe there is a problem specific to older OS versions that we need to investigate. The only reason why you should have /opt/local/lib/libheif.la if you're on 10.9 or later is if you edited macports.conf and set "delete_la_files no".

.la files are text files. You can see their contents with cat:

cat /opt/local/lib/ImageMagick-6.9.11/modules-Q16/coders/heic.la

So far so good. It appears to be a valid Mach-O library and it is linked with libheif.

Ok. I'll see if I can test on 10.6.
