Got it. Thank you! The issue is pretty simple, just replacing the infinite
with the isinfinte macro in 2 files. The rest seems to be working pretty
well.
DIA definitively needs some TLC in general ...

The last official dia release was 0.97.3 in 2014. No one has bothered switching 
the port to prerelease sources (as some other package managers have done), so 
the dia port is likely far behind upstream development. It could be that 
upstream has already addressed the issues you've identified; if not, then 
please consider submitting changes to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/dia if 
applicable.

Thank you !

I was looking at the MacPorts Wiki and didn't realize the manual devoted a
complete chapter to this.
