This sounds like a bug in the port, as it appears to be outputing bogus 
LaTeX code.  This could mean one of two things (at the least):
1) lilypond has a bug
2) port is not prereq'ing the proper version of LaTeX or related tools.

If you can send me your .ly file via private mail, I can take a stab at 
analysing the problem in more depth in the next few days.
