Replying a month late: the MacPorts version of etpan IS over 0.57 (and
hasn't changed, and this configures and works fine for 3.14.0 on OS
X.)

The question is why it can't find it but it could before. The only
difference is quite literally the user of 3.14.1 vs. 3.14.0. :(

I will have to dig in to this more deeply it seems.
