Comment(by andreas@…):

 It seems that some users have stuff in /usr/local that prevents this
 package from building. It is not an option to move /usr/local around
 though IMO. I removed the check in the portfile, and the package builds
 fine on my machine (10.6).

 Go to
 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/databases/db46/,
 open  the file "Portfile" in your editor of choice and remove the section
 saying

 {{{
 pre-extract {
         if {[file exists "/usr/local"]} {
                 ui_error "Move /usr/local out of the way then make this
 port."
                 return -code error "/usr/local is in the way"
         }
 }
 }}}

 or apply this patch to the file:
