Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Ok. The log says:
 {{{
 Image error: /opt/local/bin/xmlwf already exists and does not belong to a
 registered port.
 }}}
 So the question is, why does this file already exist? You can force the
 expat activation if you like:
 {{{
 sudo port -f activate expat
 }}}
 But this doesn't explain why you had bits of expat already on your system,
 nor does it guarantee you don't also have bits of other ports lying around
 that MacPorts doesn't know about either. Perhaps you had a previous
 installation of MacPorts that was not uninstalled correctly? If you can't
 explain why this file already existed, you may want to uninstall all of
 MacPorts using the
 [http://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.macports.uninstalling.html
 instructions in the Guide], then start again, to ensure you don't have
 unexpected bits lying around.
