Comment (by Dave-Allured):

 @physicsbeany, FWIW, I just installed FFMPEG with no problems, including
 rust.  I am on the same OS as you, High Sierra 10.13.6, and older Mac Pro.
 This was a full install starting with a clean empty build of MacPorts core
 2.5.4 into a private install directory, not /opt/local; and without root
 privileges.

 I did apply two known simple patches before starting port install ffmpeg:
 bash-completion and rust DESTROOT.  I don't think either are related to
 your problem.  Your rust build never got close to DESTROOT.

 I noticed this at the top of your main.log:
 {{{
 :debug:sysinfo Xcode none
 :warn:main Xcode does not appear to be installed; most ports will likely
 fail to build.
 }}}
 My Mac has the full XCode 10.0 installed, so I did not get these warnings.
 I am not a MacPorts expert, but I did find discussion that full XCode is
 not always needed, and command tools alone are sufficient for many ports.
 Other docs warn to always use the latest XCode version.  You might look
 into your current XCode status.  Also please check this FAQ about xcode-
