I tried this and it failed for me. It hung while configuring libiconv:

% sudo port -fR upgrade gettext
--->  Unable to uninstall libiconv 1.11_0+darwin_8, the following  
ports depend on it:
--->    apr-util
--->    gettext
--->    ruby

--->    gettext
--->    gawk

It remained in that state for 12+ hours with no change. Here is the  
ps data for the running process:

root      9503   0.0  0.1    27808    660  p1  S+   10:18PM   0:00.01

Top sorted by cpu usage showed these two hungry processes during the  
configure, which disappeared after I killed the port upgrade command:

My original problem was the same as reported by Yvon at the start of  
this thread, i.e., activation of mod_perl2 fails with the "Image  
error" concerning perllocal.pod not belonging to a registered port.

Figuring maybe my ports were out of date (updated maybe 1-2 weeks  
ago), I then tried running

% sudo port sync

which stalls after syncing the ports. I saw downloading network  
activity, which then stopped, but the port command never terminated  
after many minutes following the download activity. But perhaps this  
is a separate, unrelated problem...

Getting back to the gettext issue, I discovered the instructions here  
pertaining to it:
http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/wiki/ProblemHotlist

The shell script provided there only reported gettext.

I tried uninstalling and cleaning libiconv (which I know what a  
dependency), then re-install, but it seemed to be stuck on ./ 
configure as before (same kernal_tas and msgfmt processes coming up  
to the top).

I then uninstalled and force re-installed gettext, removing the two  
older 0.14 versions I had with the '-duf' options as suggested. This  
lead to lots of things being cleaned out. Then I attempted re- 
installing gettext and my previously hosed libiconv configuration  
then proceeded as normal:

% sudo port install -f gettext

Joy. But now for the acid test: activating mod_perl2. Unfortunately,  
the same error occurs.

--->  Activating mod_perl2 2.0.2_0
Error: Target com.apple.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/

Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

Doh!

Perhaps this mod_perl2 problem is not gettext related? Advice welcome.

PS. Regarding that trouble with 'port sync', it still hangs, so this  
is apparently a separate problem. I'll post some info about that to  
the list separately.
