According to ​https://ports.macports.org/search/?installed_file=%2Fopt%2Flocal%2Flibexec%2Ficmake%2Ficm-exec&q= the file /opt/local/libexec/icmake/icm-exec is provided by the icmake port upon which the yodl port does depend. Can you confirm whether the icmake port is installed on your system and if so whether it contains this file?

Looks like it does not have it for some reason:

I also tried to rebuild icmake just to make sure, and no such file is built. This is what gets into /opt/local/libexec/icmake:

icm-comp
icm-dep
icm-pp
icmbuild
icmun

Of course, I used standard portfile of it, not an overlay:

36-25% port file icmake
/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/macports/release/tarballs/ports/devel/icmake/Portfile

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Could you run sudo port destroot icmake and then attach the file port logfile icmake?

icmake log

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I see the log contains two attempts to build icmake. In the first attempt from June, this error occurred several times during the build phase:

error: ‘for’ loop initial declaration used outside C99 mode

presumably in the source code files that make up icmake and icmbuild but the build system has a defect where it does not exit when an error occurs. It proceeded on to the destroot phase which failed with these errors:

cp: tmp//opt/local/bin/icmake: No such file or directory
cp: tmp//opt/local/bin/icmbuild: No such file or directory

You already fixed the C99 mode problem but the build system defect remains.

In the second attempt from September, this error occurred several times during the build phase:

error: ‘Variable’ has no member named ‘data’

presumably in the source code files that make up icm-exec. The destroot phase did not fail because the icm_install file ​only tries to install icm-exec if it exists.

Maybe there is a way to fix the code so that gcc-4.2 can compile it, or maybe the old compiler needs to be blacklisted.

First, we should try updating the port; maybe these issues are already fixed. If not, they should be reported to the developer.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Replying to ryandesign:

the build system has a defect where it does not exit when an error occurs

This may already be fixed in 10.00.00 which ​uses "|| exit 1" to exit if an error occurs which was ​missing in 9.03.01.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Replying to ryandesign:

error: ‘Variable’ has no member named ‘data’

Preceding this, the log contains:

../../rss/types.ih:243: warning: declaration does not declare anything
../../rss/types.ih:249: warning: declaration does not declare anything
../../rss/types.ih:259: warning: declaration does not declare anything

and these line numbers correspond to the ends of three anonymous unions, the third of which is one that defines the data member in the Variable struct.

According to ​https://mingw-users.narkive.com/kWqZRpk4/declaration-does-not-declare-anything and ​https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3228104/anonymous-union-within-struct-not-in-c99 such anonymous unions are an extension, not part of the C standard.

These warnings and this error were not seen in your June build attempt because gcc 4.2 defaults to gnu89 mode (C89 with GNU extensions, presumably including support for anonymous unions). Then, after you set the compiler to c99 mode (C99 without GNU extensions), this problem appeared. The fix would be to use gnu99 mode (C99 with GNU extensions).
