If I remember correctly, there is a port command or option to cause the port to 
be built from source, I would think that would be a work around.

I have had trouble in the past mixing “Apple programs” with non-Apple programs, 
which is why I avoid it. I’ve had problems with old versions, unsupported 
options, and in one case different functionality. All of this may have been 
resolved, but once burned…
