Just wanted to give a small follow up: in the end I think the mpv port is just entirely broken for me. I kept trying things until I ended up doing a total fresh install again following updating to Xcode 9.4. Starting entirely from scratch and just doing a plain "port install mpv" with no variants or anything else installed first I still get the exact same error where configure fails on

It looks like MacPorts' mpv is about a year old now so it might just be related
to age, and since ticket #54867 is already accepted for updating it at some
point I'm not sure if there is any point in opening a new ticket until that's
done. Once it's updated maybe that'll resolve it by itself. Although Ken
indicated it built, so yeah, not really sure what else to try if a clean
install fails as the first port, although I'd be happy to give it a shot if
there are suggestions.
Fresh install log but nothing particularly interesting I think. Also thanks
again for your earlier reply Ken!
