If readline 5.2 doesn't extract into readline-5.2, you'll need to set the
worksrcdir manually.  The default MacPorts look for is is
${name}-${version}, but perhaps it something else.  See what the actual
directory name is and set it.  If the directory name (work/readline...) is
just "readline", then your statement would look like this:

worksrcdir   readline

or better still

worksrcdir   ${name}
