Thanbks to Ryan Schmidt who reported this on trac:

sudo port install mupdf build.jobs=1

will compile.

You can do this by passing the --without-font-truetype option to the ./configure script when building mupdf. This will prevent mupdf from trying to compile the font, which should allow the compilation process to complete successfully.
