I just updated my ports tree and am seeing the same error.  My GraphicsMagick 
has just upgraded to 1.3.19 (from 1.3.18).

        $ port installed GraphicsMagick
        The following ports are currently installed:
          GraphicsMagick @1.3.18_0+q32
          GraphicsMagick @1.3.19_0+q32 (active)

When I activate the version 1.3.18 ...

        sudo port activate GraphicsMagick @1.3.18_0+q32

Then I'm able to complete the build.  If you don't have the build for version 
1.3.18 on your Mac, you can get the port file at the link below.
