Based on the Intel web site you get if you search for Intel MKL, http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-mkl/ I would say its highly unlikely MacPorts will ever include this.

(Speaking as a scientist myself, I would say thats over egging things a little…) I would say your best bet is probably to get what you need included in the Enthought python version directly, and not rely on the MacPorts packages.
