Sounds like maybe another consequence of the massive number of processes that MacPorts starts when trying to determine which of the hundreds of perl master_sites is closest to you. See:

https://trac.macports.org/ticket/60509

We added some some code to mitigate that in MacPorts 2.6.3, reducing the number of processes by 2/3:

https://github.com/macports/macports-base/commit/cee74bb45141be217449c04ee0acd4cb22042dbe

We added further code to limit the number of processes to 50, but that has only been committed to master, so it is not currently scheduled to appear before MacPorts 2.7.0:

https://github.com/macports/macports-base/commit/0a000c436ce0f8bc7da7bb34efad896dca6a1e59

Your log shows you're using MacPorts "2.6.4", which hasn't been released yet, so you must be using the release-2.6 branch. Try either adding the above commit to it or building master instead and see if that helps.
