Here is the real problem.

:info:build gaio.c:4699:37: error: too few arguments to function call, expected 3, have 2
:info:build     if ((rc = H5Oget_info(vid,&oinfo))<0) err=1;
:info:build               ~~~~~~~~~~~           ^

It looks like this was caused by an HDF5 version update, and Grads was not updated to follow. This post shows a probable solution:

Note the the original Grads repo at Cola is no longer maintained. Grads 2.2.1 is now more than 5 years old. One of the original developers is now hosting a newer community version, currently at 2.2.3. Macports should probably update.
