The new version builds easily, and works nicely with limited testing. Most of the patches and other fixes in the portfile seem to be no longer needed, but I haven't given it the testing that james would have done.
Probably we want to keep an i386 (and PPC I guess, why not, if it works) build at least for all the systems prior to Mojave that prefer that version (according to James' note in the Portfile), but default to the 64bit version on Mojave+ I would say.

For anyone interested in dosbox, here is possible replacement for our current dosbox port. Bumped up to the latest version.
Unfortunately the official SDL version gives a blank screen on Mojave, a well-known issue with SDL that has not yet been fixed, AFAICT.
There are a few SDL2 forks of dosbox out there to make up for this deficiency, and the most active of them has been added on here as a subport, dosbox-sdl2.
Current users welcome to give feedback:

Is this how we'd like this to go?

A fix similar to this should work with ports that depend on libsdl: https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/7a3fea089dea9014171292a6ec4911902ccea651
I was thinking about submitting similar patches myself.
