New description:

 I just spent an hour trying to use port inkscape into Mojave.

 This gave me a black drawing screen with 100% cpu time.

 Turns out, this has been a verified issue (#57925) for more than 3 weeks.
 The ports mechanism should warn the user if there are known issues before
 proceeding (maybe even listing the known ticket).

 This would greatly improve the user experience of ports.
