Comment:

 I agree with `ryandesign`. My advice to you would be to:

  * Make sure you have everything backed up!
  * Boot the mac in [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455 safe mode]. This
 will force a filesystem check. (I've had errors like this before, very
 very rarely, where all the hard-linking that MacPorts does messes up the
 link structure of the HFS+ volume).
  * Verify the SMART status of the drive. There is a SMART report utility
 in MacPorts. Alternatively, there is
 [http://www.corecode.at/smartreporter/ SMARTreporter] (free) and
 [http://www.volitans-software.com/ SMART Utility] (payware). The latter
 gives you more information, I think.

 If the SMART error log on the disk (you need to really look in the SMART
 logs on the disk to find them; they often don't show up with the simple
 'red-light/green-light' utilities) then the disk definitely needs
 replacement.

 Really, I can think of lots of things that make a port fail to install,
 but ''not'' with an `I/O error`.
