Comment (by jmroot):

 Looks like a bad interaction with path: deps and the cleanup step. This
 shows icu-devel being uninstalled: https://build.macports.org/builders
 /ports-11_arm64-watcher/builds/39111/steps/cleanup/logs/stdio

 But libxml2 was still active and left that way, as it's not seen here:
 https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-
 11_arm64-builder/builds/107433/steps/install-dependencies/logs/stdio

 I would guess this is because the registry does not consider libxml2 a
 dependent of icu-devel, because it was built against icu. It's important
 to deactivate the dependents of any ports that are deactivated or
 uninstalled, because mportdepends stops as soon as it sees that a dep is
 active, it doesn't continue to check recursive deps.
