Comment (by rjvbertin@…):

 Can you do

 {{{
 > sudo find /opt/local -iname variant
 }}}

 and post the result?

 The kdenlive build fails because Nepomuk2/Variant header cannot be found.
 There are several possible reasons for that, including filename case
 aliasing. I recall that at least one port contains C++ style headers with
 uppercase letters and C style .h headers in all lowercase, with the 2
 types each in their own directories with names differing in case only.
 That is a situation which (often? tends to?) leads to errors during
 packaging on the build bots.

 You cannot to my knowledge have automatic upgrades that happen
 transparently behind your back without requiring any action on your part.
 You will have to do a periodic

 {{{
 > sudo port selfupdate && sudo port upgrade outdated
 }}}

 to keep your installation up to date. By default MacPorts is configured to
 run the aforementioned rev-upgrade command automatically after each
 upgrade command.

 NB: if you rely on software installed through MacPorts to do
 actual/important work, I would advise to reduce the selfupdate/upgrade
 frequency to a minimum that depends on your own needs. "If it ain't broke,
 don't fix it" ... because periodically someone will push an update to a
 port that has far-reaching side-effects. That's really a pity, because it
 evidently becomes increasingly cumbersome (= more work) if not complicated
 to upgrade, the longer you wait; IMHO this makes MacPorts a product that
 isn't really suitable for people who aren't willing to put on a
 developer's hat.
