 Hmm, I have exactly the same problem, so I found this post. Tried
 following the instructions, but now:


 Darwin 13.2.0 Darwin Kernel Version 13.2.0: Thu Apr 17 23:03:13 PDT 2014;
 root:xnu-2422.100.13~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64 i386
 Apple LLVM version 5.1 (clang-503.0.40) (based on LLVM 3.4svn)
 Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.2.0
 Thread model: posix

 Similar output from sqlite3:

 version|1.200
 created|1311408569
 portfiles_update_needed|1

 and tried to reinstall from:

 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/base

 (had to make clean, configure, and make install).

 Install fails with:

 Processing 1 of 1382: Xaw3d-1.5E_4.darwin_13.i386.tbz2
 Command failed: /usr/bin/tar -cjf
 /opt/local/var/macports/software/Xaw3d/Xaw3d-1.5E_4.darwin_13.i386.tbz2 -T
 /opt/local/var/macports/software/Xaw3d/tarlist >
 /opt/local/var/macports/software/Xaw3d/error.log 2>&1

 Log contains:

 tar: Removing leading '/' from member names
 tar: /opt/local/include/X11/Xaw3d/Template.c: Cannot stat: No such file or
 directory
 tar: /opt/local/include/X11/Xaw3d/Template.h: Cannot stat: No such file or
 directory
 tar: /opt/local/include/X11/Xaw3d/TemplateP.h: Cannot stat: No such file
 or directory
 tar: /opt/local/lib/libXaw3d.8.0.dylib: Cannot stat: No such file or
 directory
 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.

 ... and I can't continue (can't reinstall macports, can't finish
 upgrading).

 So, doesn't seem to be uncommon.
