Comment(by wilburg@…):

 After I installed XCode and macports I attempted an install of ncftp, with
 failure at installing ncursesw.  When that failed, I tried another install
 and the screen I sent you was from that attempt.

 Here's the output from another attempt, preceded by uninstall/clean of any
 remnants of ncursesw:

 And, now here is the log file:

 I have successfully installed XCode and macports on a Lion machine and am
 able to install everything I need on that machine without issue.
