 This isn't a bug, but rather, it's a fatal error in the stub for `py-
 magpy`. It looks like the committer (@reneeotten) didn't add the necessary
 version, which means the portfile is invalid.

 I'll check in a fix momentarily, and it should be available after 3 hours.
 At that point, run `sudo port selfupdate`, and try again.

 p.s. Let us know how it goes!
