Here's what you do:

1. Install the dependencies listed on the wiki:
port install cairo boehmgc gtkmm gtk-engines2 intltool libxslt lcms popt poppler boost gsl gnome-vfs libgnomeprintui automake autoconf bzr

2. Get inkscape:
bzr branch lp:inkscape trunk

3. Build it:
./autogen.sh && ./configure --prefix=$(pwd)/inst --enable-localinstall && make -j2 install

4. Run it:
inst/bin/inkscape
