Which exact versions do you have installed?

- Can you test that there's no conflict resulting from both (macports
install, packaged build from sf.net) using the same user configuration files?
Move/rename the config directories in $HOME: ~/.config/inkscape (0.46+devel, 0,47pre) ~/.inkscape (0.46) ~/.inkscape-etc other config files used by the macports install? then start the packaged prerelease version again. Any interesting console.log msgs? Do not mix running two installed versions without again renaming the config dirs until you can rule out that it is part of the problem.
If I understood it good: I removed the three directories you mentioned. I started the precompiled Inkscape (0.47pre1 from sf.net) but still with no luck (Console logs end with

)
- do you have any suspicious fonts installed?
Check all font directories (/System/Library/Fonts, /Library/Fonts, ~/Library/Fonts, ~/.fonts) for possibly corrupt fonts, move them out of the fonts folder, then clean Inkscape's fontcache: move/rename ~/.fontconfig and restart X11 and Inkscape.app. Any changes?
I removed .fontconfig, restarted everything, but still no luck.
- what about other X11 applications like 'GIMP on OS X' from
gimp.lisanet.de? Do they launch without problems?
I compiled myself the Inkscape package now (following the wiki instructions), and my version work. I.e. the Inkscape.app produced by
./osx-build.sh a c b i -s p
does work normally (it is a .app therefore, it doesn't have anything to do with macports, except it was compiled using its libraries). The Gimp also works.
I really don't know what it could be. To summarized
- I deleted .config/inkscape .inkscape .inkscape-etc .fontconfig but
Inkscape.app from sf.net doesn't start. The errors are as in my first message.
Inkscape package done by me: works.
Inkscape compiled with MacPorts: works.
Inkscape from sf.net was working one week ago.
If needed, this is the report from the Crash Reporter

Thanks again for your attention and your time.
Giovanni
I have no answer nor do I know where to continue to search.
what I can take from the crash report:
FCCacheFailedHandler is the 'Handler for when fontconfig caches need to be generated', defined in http://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape/inkscape/trunk/packaging/macosx/ScriptExec/main.c?revision=20240&view=markup, the launcher app based on (an old version of) Platypus. This again points to a font issue - did you have a look at your installed fonts? (font management with/in 'Font Book' has no influence on which fonts inkscape / X11 sees -> Contents/Resources/etc/fonts/font.conf defines the included font directories for inkscape)
But JiHO or Michael would know better how to read the crash report.
