Comment (by kencu):

 Thanks. it is a bit of a strange error you're seeing, but then there are
 not too many people building Tiger software on an 8 core machine (not even
 me).
 {{{
 538     :info:build make[1]: Leaving directory
 `/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_lang_perl5/perl5.28/work/perl-5.28.3/ext
 /Devel-Peek'
 539     :info:build make: *** read jobs pipe: Resource temporarily
 unavailable.  Stop.
 540     :info:build make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
 }}}
 At first blush, I'm not exactly sure what this error is. To factor it,
 we're going to simplify things to remove some variables.

 One common thing that happens is race conditions, where one part of the
 software build is looking for something, but it hasn't been finished being
 built yet by another part of the build. These are hard to debug, but easy
 to find once you think of them -- just disable that.

 In your Portfile, put
 {{{
 use_parallel_build no
 }}}

 or, alternatively, you can set it perhaps more easily in
 {{{/opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf}}} where you find line that specs
 the build jobs and set it to "1".

 Once that is done, you should clean, and then try the build again:
 {{{
 sudo port clean perl5.28
 sudo port -v build perl5.28
 }}}
 if it fails the same way again, then you know it's not that issue.

 The next most common thing is the old {{{/usr/bin/make}}} on Tiger causes
 lots of problems. To fix that, install {{{gmake}}} (probably is installed}
 and then set the build to use it. In the portfile, put
 {{{
 build.cmd gmake
 }}}
 and then clean and try your build again.

 If neither of those things gets past your error, put up a new log with the
 results of those mods, and we'll take a look.

 I doubt you will be able to complete a build anyway, due to [ticket:60740]
 but at least you should be able to get to that error (which we have a fix
 for, just deciding how best to implement it).
