I don't see anything about OS X or MS Windows on that page and in fact the remark that this was already possible since 16.08 makes me a bit suspicious. My current MacPorts package provides Marble from 16.08.2, and I this is the patch to make it build for shared & shareable resources:

https://github.com/RJVB/macstrop/blob/master/kf5/kf5-marble/files/patch-build-for-macports-16082.diff

The principle is simple: unlink the installation mode from the platform tokens, and introduce an option with a default value that does depend on a platform token. Hardly more difficult to maintain, it just requires the goodwill to ask oneself if a new Mac-specific addition is purely related to the installation mode or to the platform. 

I'll admit that I didn't even try to build it in stock version, but making a standalone and thus *relocatable* Marble app bundle is by definition incompatible with sharing libMarble.

My bad btw: I updated the RR on ReviewBoard once but forgot it was supposed to go on Phabricator... Guess that means I'll have to give it another try ...
