> kdelibs4 depends on soprano, soprano depends on openjdk11, openjdk11 is a meta port wich depends on openjdk11-temurin, openjdk11-temurin requires Sierra or later, so these dependencies seem impossible to fulfill. Is there some way around this?

Have you tried installing Java 11 or later outside of MacPorts? I think ports in MacPorts that use java should be able to use that, and only fall back to using a MacPorts port for java if a system java is not detected.
