This was a bug in revupgrade that shipped in MacPorts 2.1.0:

https://trac.macports.org/ticket/34463

Already fixed and released as MacPorts 2.1.1. Users have had not selfupdated to 2.1.0 should not experience any problems. Tiger users who did already selfupdate to 2.1.0 can re-install the 2.0.3 disk image, which will selfupdate them to 2.1.1.
