 4 times I had to restart "sudo port mpkg iperf3" (once for each
 dependency), because of error message
 > Specified root path
 "/opt/local/var/macports/build/.../.../work/destroot" does not exist.
 It was simple enough to manually create the directory and restart with
 "sudo port mpkg iperf3" .

 The final result (after 4 mkdir and restart) looks good:
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_net_iperf3/iperf3/work/mpkg_packages:
  macports    1590  3 Mar 16:22 iperf3-3.9-component.pkg
  root        1610  3 Mar 16:21 openssl-1.1.1j-component.pkg
  root       15392  3 Mar 16:21 openssl-1.1.1j.pkg
  root        1591  3 Mar 16:22 zlib-1.2.11-component.pkg
  root       15288  3 Mar 16:22 zlib-1.2.11.pkg

 "port mpkg" should automatically create appropriate "work/destroot"
 directories.
