You built both Inkscape versions yourself? From SVN? With separate MacPorts trees?
No! - I used the X11 version out of the box - and compiled the aqua myself.
I use the 0.46 X11 inkscape.app bundle - and the sources folder has the name inkscape-22205
this is most likely bug #400165 "Binary Inkscape dist crashes when MacPorts is installed": https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/400165
and here is a bug where the same happened on Tiger: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/183322 comments 7-14
The fix is to change the 'Contents/Resources/etc/fonts/fonts.conf' inside the Inkscape 0.46 package as described by Michael Wybrow in bug #400165 comment #4:
The problem is Inkscape trying to read incompatible fontcaches from Macports. The fix is to modify Inkscape.app/Contents/Resources/etc/fonts/fonts/conf to remove the following line: <cachedir>/opt/local/var/cache/fontconfig</cachedir>
