Comment:

 Your log is hard to read because of interleaved errors due to parallel
 building.

 Here's the log from the buildbot for 10.7:

 https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-10.7_x86_64_legacy-
 builder/builds/60620/steps/install-port/logs/stdio

 The error is:

 {{{
 error: expected method to read array element not found on object of type
 'NSArray *'
         NSString *path = (NSString *) paths[0];
                                       ^
 1 error generated.
 }}}

 According to [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11425976/compiler-error-
 expected-method-not-found-when-using-subscript-on-nsarray Stack Overflow],
 this needs the 10.8 SDK or later. That is easy to fix on 10.7 where Xcode
 includes the 10.8 SDK, and harder to fix on 10.6 and earlier where Xcode
 does not, though I am working on a solution.

 Here's the log from the buildbot for 10.6:

 https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-10.6_i386_legacy-
 builder/builds/38548/steps/install-port/logs/stdio

 That might be a different error.
