The issue is:

cc-background-item.c:223:36: error: too many arguments to function call, expected 2, have 4
        gnome_bg_draw (bg, pixbuf, gdk_screen_get_default (), FALSE);
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~              ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/opt/local/include/gnome-desktop-3.0/libgnome-desktop/gnome-bg.h:78:18: note: 'gnome_bg_draw' declared here
void             gnome_bg_draw                  (GnomeBG               *bg,
                 ^

and this inconsistency is likely because that file is provided by:

% port provides /opt/local/include/gnome-desktop-3.0/libgnome-desktop/gnome-bg.h
/opt/local/include/gnome-desktop-3.0/libgnome-desktop/gnome-bg.h is provided by: gnome-desktop

and that port is at:

% port -v installed gnome-desktop                          
The following ports are currently installed:
  gnome-desktop @3.38.9_0 (active) requested_variants='' platform='darwin 21' archs='x86_64' date='2022-05-13T20:15:07-0700'

whereas the gnome-control-center port we are trying to install is much older, at:

 % port info gnome-control-center                           
gnome-control-center @3.26.2_3 (gnome)

and obviously things have changed since then.

SO the fix is to update gnome-control-center to version 3.38.x, to match gnome-desktop.

No doubt that has not been done as it will require retooling gnome-control-center to meson, and nobody has so far felt like taking on that project.

So this port is broken until that is done.

[leonpano2006]

Replying to reneeotten:
