Comment:

 This shouldn't be happening, regardless of your prefix or whether or not
 your MacPorts is configured to require root, although if you are using the
 default prefix and other values, you will get a binary from us and avoid
 trying to compile from source.

 Please run `sudo port selfupdate` to ensure you have MacPorts 2.8.1 and
 the latest port definitions. This port, and many others, will now fail to
 build with errors like these using MacPorts 2.8.0 and earlier because the
 code path that handled those older MacPorts versions has been removed. See
 #67031.

 The transcript you posted does not look like a clean build attempt. (The
 fetch, checksum, and extract phases are not shown, meaning they were
 completed earlier and possibly incorrectly, for example if they were
 completed with MacPorts 2.8.0 or earlier.) Please `sudo port clean xar`
 and try again and if it fails again then attach the main.log file.

 There is a known problem with the version of the `patch` command on
 Ventura and later where it doesn't like applying patches that have fuzz.
 It doesn't sound like that's what's going on here, and we had successful
 builds of this port on our buildbot workers, including the Ventura ones,
 however I do see that one of the patches has fuzz (and many of them apply
 with offsets) so it may be a good idea (Marius) to rebase those patches
 anyway.
