I have no definite suggestions but just looking at

 https://ports.macports.org/port/enscript/builds/

I see the builds for old OSes are themselves a good few years old now. Its possible I guess something else has updated that broke the port, and perhaps forcing a rebuild from source might help. Have you tried forcing a build from source ?
