Comment (by mathias.habluetzel@…):

 Looks like a missing dependency:

 {{{
 :debug:extract Executing command line:  cd
 "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_devel_gperf/gperf/work"
 && /usr/bin/gzip -dc
 '/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/gperf/gperf-3.0.4.tar.gz' |
 /usr/bin/gnutar --no-same-owner -xf -
 :info:extract sh: /usr/bin/gnutar: No such file or directory
 }}}

 So I tried to install manually gnutar which somehow wants to install
 expat:

 {{{
 :debug:extract Executing command line:  cd
 "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_textproc_expat/expat/work"
 && /usr/bin/gzip -dc
 '/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/expat/expat-2.1.0.tar.gz' |
 /usr/bin/gnutar --no-same-owner -xf -
 :info:extract sh: /usr/bin/gnutar: No such file or directory
 }}}

 Well … no quick workaround here. It seems that Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks
 completely lacks of gnutar and thus breaks a lot of things here.
