Comment:

 You must not have upgraded your ports in a very long time. The ncursesw
 port became obsolete 16 months ago (#12605); its functionality was
 integrated into the existing ncurses port. An upgrade path existed to make
 this process seamless, but that upgrade path was removed a couple months
 ago (r91972) because we assumed everyone would have upgraded by now. We
 usually remove such upgrade paths after 12 months, so you should upgrade
 your ports at least once every 12 months.

 To work around this problem for this port now, you should force ncursesw
 to uninstall:
 {{{
 sudo port -f uninstall ncursesw
 }}}
 Then you can activate ncurses:
 {{{
 sudo port activate ncurses @5.9_1
 }}}
