Comment(by kthenriksson@…):

 I got the same error too. What I needed to do was deactivate the old xorg-
 libice, and then I could install the new one. In other words, running
 {{{
 sudo port deactivate xorg-libice
 sudo port upgrade xorg-libice
 }}}
 should clear this up for anyone.

 As far as technical details, the problem is that the old version of xorg-
 libice and the new one have differing prototypes for the two functions
 IceRegisterForProtocolSetup and IceRegisterForProtocolReply. One thinks
 authNames should be a char** and the other thinks it should be a const
 char**. As long as the old version is active, the compiler will read in
 both definitions and then will be uncertain which is correct. So just
 deactivate the old and all will be well.
