Apparently I did not read your documentation carefully enough...I thought that having SDL installed via HomeBrew was optional, not required.

I didn't get it working on Mac myself, I originally started to get it 
going using the downloadable binaries you can just drag n drop.

Others got it working with brew, afaik.

You're probably better off using git to grab it, then modify the 
makefile and gpr's for a specific macos macports port, add a new 
Platform_Type, macosx_macports and add what you need inside the sdlada.gpr.

Then you can call make SDL_PLATFORM=macosx_macports SDL_MODE=release to 
build it.

Check whatever sdl2-config --cflags produces on that port.

If the headers are in different directories, you'll need to modify the 
version*.c files with extra #ifdef's for macports.
