Actually any IDE suitable for development of the FOSS packages which I think 
make up the majority of ports. So almost any IDE except for Xcode ...
Personally I mostly use KDevelop (has good cmake support esp. if the CMake 
portgroup generates a compile_commands.json file 
[-DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON]) but MacPorts has a couple of other IDEs 
that have different levels of support for working with autoconf and/or 
cmake-based projects.

For Xcode there might be the possibility to call the BundleExec directly, if it 
even uses env. variables at all.

An alternative would be to have a command that dumps the environment used for 
configure and/or build for a given port. Both Qt Creator and KDevelop have 
support for environment profiles, and IIRC Xcode at least used to have that for 
projects using a custom build system.

Someone (Clemens?) already made a quick patch that dumps the default 
environment without anything port-specific, among other things.
