Comment (by dliessi):

 Replying to [comment:4 ryandesign]:
 > The log also shows that the Portfiles are located in the nonstandard
 location /opt/macports-git/macports-ports. Is this a clone of the official
 GitHub macports/macports-ports repository or is it a fork or might it for
 some other reason have unofficial modifications to the xorg-server
 Portfile?

 It is a clone of the official repository.

 > "Skipping completed" means some phases were completed earlier, in other
 words this was not a clean installation attempt. So I would run `sudo port
 clean xorg-server` and then try again.

 Trying again:
