That means that MacPorts is broken or it - by definition 
- does not cover additional self-compiled packages (like 
FFmpeg in this case). Whenever a MacPorts update removes 
existing dynamic libraries (in this case libass.4.dylib) 
this can happen if you ever compile additional binaries 
yourself.

There is nothing in FFmpeg that can be fixed about this.
