Comment:

 This looks like two entirely separate issues. The first one is the use of
 lbzip2. MacPorts uses lbzip2 if available, but should fall back to bzip2
 normally. I don't know why it did not work in this case...

 The second problem is with `touch`. Why does npm even install directly
 into `${prefix}`? This should not happen at all. `${prefix}` is reserved
 by MacPorts. If npm is allowed to overrides basic (POSXI) shell
 functionality such as touch(1), all kinds of problems during builds could
 occur. Even if MacPorts itself would use `/usr/bin/touch`, build scripts
 can be broken by this.
