The problem could be scons. It looks like
https://github.com/mongodb/mongo/blob/r4.2.0/SConstruct
requires Python 3.5 but Scons runs against Python 2.7:
$ head /opt/local/bin/scons
#!/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2.7
Well-designed build procedures allow the Python version to be specified
distinctly from the SCons Python version. See if this build procedure has
some sort of "target python" option.
So try changing python.default_version in scons’ portfile and rebuilding it.
Even if it's necessary to run SCons with the target Python to get around a
dumb build procedure, there's no reason to alter the SCons installation.
Just invoke SCons with the desired Python. I.e., instead of:
scons <args>
use:
$<prefix>/bin/pythonX.Y scons <args>
