Does it help if you install
sudo port install texlive-fonts-recommended
?

PS: in case it helps, here's how I usually diagnose these issues (on a
complete installation):

...
/opt/local/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/source/jknappen/ec/ecrm1200.mf
/opt/local/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/tfm/jknappen/ec/ecrm1200.tfm
...
/usr/local/texlive/2015/texmf-dist/fonts/source/jknappen/ec/ecrm1200.mf
/usr/local/texlive/2015/texmf-dist/fonts/tfm/jknappen/ec/ecrm1200.tfm

/opt/local/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/tfm/jknappen/ec/ecrm1200.tfm is
provided by: texlive-fonts-recommended
If you (or a package) are trying to use some font without a .tfm file,
tex calls metafont, hoping to get the metric files from metafont
sources which usually don't exist.
But this cannot be solved easily on a MacPorts level except in the
same way as MikTeX does it on Windows (ie. it install files on the fly
based on whatever files the user is trying to access) with quite some
coding. The only safe way is to install the complete texlive suite.
