This is OS X 10.10.2 with a recent (last 1-2 days) install of MacPorts 2.3.3 I installed okular @4.14.3_1 (kde, kde4) with the default variants. I first tried installing with the +docs variant (port install okular +docs), but the build failed here, so I did sudo port clean okular and tried again, this time running sudo port install okular which reported success. However, the executable seems to crash immediately after I launch it. I have the following log entries in my console. The Gestalt selector error seems like it might be important. 9/7/15 7:20:38.203 AM Console[38093]: Failed to connect (_consoleX) outlet from (NSApplication) to (ConsoleX): missing setter or instance variable 9/7/15 7:20:49.728 AM okular[38096]: WARNING: The Gestalt selector gestaltSystemVersion is returning 10.9.2 instead of 10.10.2.

Expected Results: Okular launches successfully.
In case it helps, I'll add that after installing kspaceduel, I get the same behavior with the latter application too. So perhaps the bug is not in okular per se, but in components common to both kspaceduel and okular.
Please report this bug downstream to the macports people. There's nothing we can do here.
Ok, but for what it's worth, I'll add an item here from Macports instructions to potential bug filers: https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets "Is the problem an application error and not related to compiling and installing? In general, application bugs should be reported to the developers of the app (“upstream”), not MacPorts. An application bug that affects a large number of MacPorts users might merit a MacPorts bug for informational purposes only, but this should be done sparingly."
