You don't appear to actually be using clang in the output you quoted, but rather 'cc', which is linked to llvm-gcc-4.2 on your system. I don't know if clang -E would behave significantly differently, but it's well worth checking.

Using "$(CC) -E" did not succeed because it left an input file unused.

Would it be too brittle to simply use /usr/bin/cpp?

That seems to work just fine:

:info:build cpp -IMENUS ARB_GDEmenus.source>ARB_GDEmenu

But I don't want to create a situation that will break for some folks.

I'm trying to use the right compiler, but ${configure.cpp} is empty on my

I do have the other stuff

${configure.cc}=/Developer/usr/bin/clang
${configure.cxx}=/Developer/usr/bin/clang++

configure.cpp should be populated for most compilers, but MacPorts does not set 
the CPP environment variable for you; doing so caused problems for more ports 
than it solved.

If you have a port that needs CPP set, set it yourself, as in:

configure.env CPP=${configure.cpp}

But I do see that configure.cpp is empty when the compiler is clang. Typically, when 
$(CPP) is empty, software will use "$(CC) -E". So you could try setting it that 
way.
