Yes that is the solution and I committed it here:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/8addb4df7ea4e8da28e059e28052f68b8bad02cb

Only when you use the +apns variant, dovecot regenerates the configure script 
from configure.ac (because it applies a patch to configure.ac). configure.ac 
references the AM_ICONV macro so the port that provides that macro must be 
present at build time. From its name it seems like the AM_ICONV macro should be 
provided by the libiconv port but for whatever reason it's actually provided by 
the gettext port.

I was able to circumvent this autoconf failure by installing gettext before 
installing dovecot, I don't know if that is the best solution, but ot works (as 
in, it now installs).

My dovecot install fails after macOS Sonoma 14.5 update and MacPorts update

[Gerben Wierda]

I did my normal upgrade round, that is, update macOS, then a clean update of 
MacPorts and a reinstall of my port collection. This is generally routine for 
me.

But this now fails at dovecot (which is nasty,. I really need that mail server, 
now running on the Linux backup server)

port -N install dovecot +apns +solr
--->  Configuring dovecot
Error: Failed to configure dovecot: autoreconf failure: command execution failed
Error: See 
/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_Users_sysbh_MacPortsDev_macports-ports_mail_dovecot/dovecot/main.log
 for details.
Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets if you believe there 
is a bug.
Error: Processing of port dovecot failed

and the log ends with

I think that the `certsync` port (alternative to curl-ca-bundle) is
supposed to help with this...
