Is there a ticket about this?
The place to fix it would be in src/port1.0/portconfigure.tcl in proc
portconfigure::configure_get_sdkroot, changing some or possibly all "return {}"
statements to "return {/}". If you haven't already, you might try making that
modification in your local copy of MacPorts (on macOS 10.13 or earlier) and
using it for awhile and verifying that this doesn't break any ports.
