I have to apologize, I seem to have had a bad case of thinking :)

With the ./configure options
--disable-music-mp3-shared \
--disable-music-ogg-shared \
--disable-music-flac-shared

libsdl_mixer gets correctly build, meaning the static lib is not linked against 
the dynamic libs of its dependencies. So wherever you want to link statically 
to sdl_mixer you need to add the static libs of sdl_mixer's dependencies.
As dynamic linking still works with these ./configure options, I *think* it 
should be safe to add these options to the portfile.
I'll add this to the ticket I posted.

Take care,
Dom

"On the road that I have taken, 
one day, walking, I awaken, 
amazed to see where I have come, 
where I'm going, where I'm from. 
This is not the path I thought. 
This is not the place I sought. 
This is not he dream I bought, 
just a fever of fate I caught."
