MacPorts is a volunteer organization. The reason why nobody has fixed the bug you mentioned is that nobody has volunteered to do so. It looks like there is a suggestion in the bug report that raising the ulimit might help. If anybody would like to attempt to integrate a solution for this into the rust portfile and submit a pull request, that would be great.
In fact, it looks like the ulimit solution isn't to increase any limit, but rather to *reduce* the "hard" stack size limit so that a bit of stack size management logic in rustc spawns a new thread instead of plowing ahead in the main thread and crashing. See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/51838#issuecomment-430804450
I no longer have a suitable test machine for the systems where this is apparently a problem (El Cap and Sierra, it seems) so I can't really submit a fix.
