Confirmed, and configure output shows:
avahi socket: /run/avahi-daemon/socket
That's clearly not what we want and we need to fix that somehow. The configure script says:
# # Avahi runtime dir # avahi_runtime_dir="/run" avahi_socket="${avahi_runtime_dir}/avahi-daemon/socket"
So we need to somehow change avahi_runtime_dir
from /run
to ${prefix}/var/run
. Not sure if there's an exposed configure flag for that or if we need to patch the configure script.
I also wonder if we're supposed to be creating that directory in the portfile and setting its ownership to the avahi user.

An upstream change caused this. It has been requested that this upstream change be changed or reverted.

I just spent several hours digging into this, and was finally able to get avahi to launch. The two issues that needed to be fixed were the aforementioned issue with /run
for which I added a patch to configure, and that avahi will terminate if it's launched by launchd and drops root via setuid after launching. I submitted a PR here: https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/17690

I have this issue also, and so far have not sorted out how to fix it.
