Comment:

 Thanks. The error shown in the log is:

 {{{
 :info:build /usr/include/hfs/hfs_format.h:797:2: error: unknown type name
 'uuid_string_t'; did you mean 'io_string_t'?
 :info:build         uuid_string_t   ext_jnl_uuid;

 Searching for this error], I found two suggestions that the problem is
 caused by the presence of the file /usr/local/include/uuid/uuid.h. Do you
 have this file? If so, delete it and anything else you installed in prefix
 /usr/local, then "sudo port clean pkgconfig" and then try again.
 Installing software in prefix /usr/local will cause problems for MacPorts,
 which is why we do not support you doing that; see wiki:FAQ#usrlocal.
