What's the situation with more recent versions?
I suspect this is a mismatch between libmagic installed by OSX and by Macports. Macports likely installs it's own magic.mgc which Suricata should try to load. If I'm correct this is a configuration (and possibly documentation) error.
This is fixed by https://github.com/inliniac/suricata/pull/1823
The problem is that OS X does not include a libmagic, but it does include a magic file. So you have to install libmagic from MacPorts or Brew, but the location of the magic file is not updated. By not setting the magic file, the library linked to will pick up the correct one.
The work-around is to fix the location of magic-file, or commenting out should do the right thing as well.
It's commented out now, right?

As of PR 1823. Not fixups required now on the Mac. Should close this.
