See ticket #13377[1]. I think the problem is the configure flags
being passed to python, not the compiler.

[1] http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/13377

That's as may be: I saw a lot of Google results that suggested that, but I could never get it to work. 

That ticket is marked as a duplicate, and I have been down the same road as the older one, even unto the same cited webpages. Tried the same Portfile modifications as well. 

What I did worked, though it may not be ideal for whatever reason.
