I suspect that Times etc. don't contain the anchor at all, you can check this in the glyphs list or in the font viewer software of your choice. If a font does not contain a character, the fallback font is used. Perhaps the macports version uses a different fallback font...

see also: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2693/fontsupport.htm

But back to your issue: so it seems that only the macports version is affected, but not the dmg, when used on the same computer. This certainly looks as if it's related to font support in the macports port for Inkscape.

I've googled macports and font bugs, and it might be that there's an issue, but I'm not sure.
Best would be to ask the macports people themselves, as is suggested on the macports download link page at inkscape.org (they asked us to redirect people to them, when they have macports specific issues): https://inkscape.org/en/release/0.92.2/mac-os-x/macports/dl/
