 From the messages, it tried to get archive for ghostscript first but none
 of the websites have it. Then it got the distfiles and tried to build it
 but failed. I have followed the instructions here:
 https://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration and port clean ghostscript
 several times.

Comment:

 In the future, please use WikiFormatting.

 The actual error from the main.log is:
 {{{
 :info:configure configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
 }}}

 You did not install the
 [http://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.xcode.html#installing.xcode.mavericks
 Xcode command line tools].
