yes. uninstall your whole macport (it's important), and re-install it
(look into macport documentation to uninstall).

After that, look my procedure here :

https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/digikam/repository/revisions/master/entry/README.MACOSX

Look like i don't use official digiKam macport package. By this way,
you will use the current implementation from git/master repository
(next 2.5.0)

Let's me hear if you have some problem with it.

Note : i compile digiKam like this under my macbook and also under a
virtualbox running macosx...

Best
