Panics?

[Jordan K. Hubbard]

I don't see how this can possibly be a MacPorts issue - if your  
system panics, you've hit something more fundamentally wrong.  In  
this case, it looks like filesystem corruption may be to blame.  I  
would reboot your system to single user and do a forced fsck,  
ignoring the fact that journaling will claim that the filesystem is  
already consistent.
