while hs-citeproc might not have a maintainer, I'd still cc sean@… on this, as he was the last one to update this port.

I think this is due to all the Haskell ports needing a rev bump (then rev bump pandoc). If anyone wants to script that, it'd be much appreciated.

I'm very keen to get the Macports port of Pandoc installed successfully. Unfortunately, I'm a complete noob when it comes to Haskell, C/C++ and gcc. Might anyone here would be willing to hold my hand through the process of fixing this bug? I mean, I'm not even sure where to begin: I don't understand quite how r104471 is related, nor how to figure out which would be the right args to put in which portfile(s) to get everything working.

Is there a step-by-step procedure I can follow?

r104471 is a revision of the ports tree. Make sure you’ve run a sudo port clean pandoc hs-citeproc && sudo port selfupdate before trying again. Selfupdating gets you the latest version of the tree.

If you still cannot install pandoc after that, please tell us which port fails exactly. Is it still hs-citeproc?

I have now run port -d -y rev-upgrade and created a new ticket for that: #38998.

I think this has been fixed with r104471 and #38998.
