I’ve found MacPorts to be better at running multiple versions of packages simultaneously, for example at my last job I needed to have 3 or 4 different versions of PHP running at the same time and it was a bit of a pain to do that with Homebrew compared to MacPorts.
Homebrew will often give you a more user-friendly config out of the box, whereas MacPorts will often leave you to configure things yourself.
When installing binaries I’ve found MacPorts to be much faster, however it needs to build from source much more often than Homebrew (especially on ARM) which takes far longer.
