Are these entries in the macport portfile relevant?

"depends_build           bin:grep:grep \
                        bin:bison:bison
depends_lib             port:gettext

variant universal {}

configure.ldflags-append \
    "-Wl,-search_paths_first -lncurses"
configure.args          --mandir=${prefix}/share/man \
                        --infodir=${prefix}/share/info \
                        --without-installed-readline \
                        CFLAGS_FOR_BUILD="[get_canonical_archflags]"

# Always source .bashrc when connecting remotely with ssh, #40603
configure.cflags-append -DSSH_SOURCE_BASHRC
"
