Comment:

 Well I'm glad you didn't anonymize this portion of the log because it's
 undoubtedly part of the problem, given this error in the log:

 {{{

 I don't know why the symlinked portion of the path seems to be repeated
 multiple times there. But I do recall that configuring MacPorts with a
 prefix that contains symlinks causes problems. So you should configure the
 MacPorts prefix to be the correct real resolved path on disk. So if the
 prefix should be a folder "robbie" in a folder "NetUsers" on a secondary
 drive called "ServerDrive" then configure MacPorts with
 "`--prefix=/Volumes/ServerDrive/NetUsers/robbie`". If ServerDrive is the
 primary drive, i.e. "/", then configure with
 "`--prefix=/NetUsers/robbie`".
