Actually ports in MacPorts declare dependencies on TeX Live by path
instead of by port name, so you could actually edit the configuration
file (/opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf) and prepend your TeX Live
installation to MacPorts' path, but this could be a source of problems
and is not officially supported (i.e. if you have problems you are on
your own).

That's what I would advise, too.
I have a lot of software installed with MacPorts (including TeX Live,
by the way), but I install LilyPond manually downloading the app, so
that I can have multiple versions side by side (I rename them to
"LilyPond X.Y.Z.app").
When I tried installing lilypond-devel with MacPorts, it didn't build
on my machine.

Best wishes.
