First, the tutorial at http://www.ros.org/wiki/groovy/Installation/OSX/MacPorts/Source is likely way out-of-date. I don't know if anyone is maintaining those instructions.

Second, the error you are getting is because you have to use catkin_make_isolated instead of catkin_make because your workspace contains packages like opencv which are not catkin packages, but are required for building all of ROS from source.

You should look at the Homebrew instructions and substitute in macports where ever you see fit in stead.

You can replace desktop with rviz in the wstool url and you will get only the packages required for rviz.
