New description:
Like 189 of portpkg.tcl uses the findBinary procedure to locate the full
path to the cpio binary and then uses that as the value to the -x
parameter of the pax command. This causes pax to segmentation fault.
The command that fails is:
{{{cd
/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports
.org_release_tarballs_ports_multimedia_mythtv-core.25/mythtv-
core.25/work/destroot && /bin/pax -x /usr/bin/cpio -w -z . >
/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports
.org_release_tarballs_ports_multimedia_mythtv-core.25/mythtv-core.25/work
/mythtv-core.25-0.25.2-Fixes-20120918.pkg/Contents/Archive.pax.gz}}}
The attached patch file simply uses 'cpio' as the parameter to -x option
of pax rather than the calculated full path (ie /usr/bin/pax). With just
'cpio' there is no segmentation fault.

Comment:
Could you attach the crash log from that segmentation fault? It should be
in ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports
