this of course will cause trouble with html emails that are not encoded in
iso-8859-1(5). better do:
text/html; w3m -I '%{charset}' -T text/html -dump; copiousoutput
(untested... something similar works for me with elinks. perhaps it's necessary
to replace the single quotes around %{charset} with double quotes.)

why not just type 'sudo port install w3m' in a Terminal? that's how installing a
port works in macports.

if that still happens with a recent version of macports, it sounds like
something that should be reported to the macports project...
