Now compilation finished, but the program again crashes immediately
after startup.

Note: I had to manually patch
digikam-1.0.0-beta3/libs/3rdparty/lqr/lqr_energy_priv.h

like this:
http://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/graphics/liblqr/files/patch-lqr__lqr_energy_priv.h?rev=51312

The author of liblqr is aware of the problem, so in the next release it
should be fixed:
http://liblqr.wikidot.com/forum/t-169529/small-patch-needed-to-compile-liblqr-on-mac-os:change-upstream-package

I guess it is something of a philosophical question why digiKam brings
its own private version of a library, instead of using the system
version (which in MacOS/MacPorts is already patched)... or why
functionality such as this is included at all, although everyone using
digiKam might as well use the Gimp for complex image editing functions.

Vlado
