 I actually found a fix in between opening this page and posting this.

 Basically, I was upgrading xorg-libX11, which depended on xorg-libxcb.
 When Macports tried to upgrade that, it hit a build error and exited.
 looking into the log, I noticed that it was trying to build a python file
 by calling /opt/local/bin/python and running into a syntax error. I have
 python_select installed, and at the time it was currently set to python31.
 Noticing that one of the arguments was a python26 framework, I switched
 python_select over to python26. Worked like a charm.

 So the port is calling something that if you have python_select installed,
 is in fact a symlink.
