Pascal,

You know darned well what my answer is for how to keep MacPorts or Homebrew from interfering with Gtk-OSX: 
Don't install either of them. 

Since you insist on breaking that rule it's up to you to figure out how to work around it. I'm certainly not 
going to spend time and corrupt my mac by installing MacPorts so that I can test for you.

I suppose that you tried starting a login shell with a clean .zsh_profile and that it didn't work. Did you 
try creating a user? If nothing else works a macOS VM should be sufficiently insulated from whatever you've 
done to the host system.

Brotli is a compression scheme that I guess is used for some fonts. I don't see any real value to adding it 
to Gtk-OSX.
