Just a guess since you didn't mention working around following. Macports is installed under /opt's and only looks for its libraries under /opts. I think those twain-sane packages are self-contained packages.
So probably when you compiled xsane from Macports it pulled in the older sane-backends-1.0.20 from Macports as well. Can't offer the exact fix for getting Macports to use external libraries but recommend pinging the Macport maintainer of sane-backends to update to 1.0.21. That would be simplest.
