OK, some progress to report. Digging around the archives at MacPorts, I 
found that removing the definition of DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH from my .profile 
would help. It did get me further, so that I do get to the point where 
Bibledit launches. Unfortunately, it crashes soon after with a library 
compatibility problem:

Dyld Error Message:

  Reason: Incompatible library version: libXft.2.dylib requires version 
8.0.0 or later, but libiconv.2.dylib provides version 7.0.0

From looking at that, it looks like it's referencing the 
/usr/lib/libiconv.2.dylib rather than /opt/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib. I 
fear that trying to resolve this might lead me back to the path of 
having the library search path set again, and running into the first 
problem I had. Or is it possible safely to remove the one in /usr/lib 
and put a link to the newer one in /opt/local/lib?
