Comment:

 What port provided the file /opt/local/include/util.h?

 {{{
 port provides /opt/local/include/util.h
 }}}

 I wouldn't be surprised if that's interfering with the file called
 "util.h" in the xar port (which would mean that you could reproduce this
 problem on any system if that port were installed). It would indicate that
 the `-I` flags when building the xar port are in the wrong order.

 Using the search function on ports.macports.org the only port I found that
 provides the file /opt/local/include/util.h is irstlm. I am able to
 reproduce this failure when trying to build xar if the irstlm port is
 installed.

 It's probably a bad idea for the irstlm port to install a file with such a
 common name in such a prominent directory. This probably needs to be
 brought up with the developers of irstlm so that they either rename their
 util.h or move it into a subdirectory named after their project. Their
 project is now at https://github.com/irstlm-team/irstlm. First I will see
 if I can update it to the latest version and if that already resolves this
 issue.
