Comment (by ryandesign):

 Yes, I agree.

 But what the new transcript and log do not show, curiously, is the archive
 being downloaded. I guess this is because the downloaded archive is still
 in /opt/local/var/macports/incoming  because the default for `sudo port
 clean` is to only clean the work directory. Try `sudo port clean --work
 --archive xorg-server` to also delete the archive, so that it will get
 downloaded again and we can verify that it's downloading the right thing
 from the right server.

 Something else I might hesitantly suggest is uninstalling the xorg-server
 you currently have installed, with `sudo port -f uninstall xorg-server`,
 but if that still doesn't help, then you'll be left without any xorg-
 server at all until we figure this out, which might not be desirable.
