Is there any chance that your MacPorts installation was copied/ 
migrated from a ppc Mac? I see two problems in your transcript:
  * it's referring to /opt/local/lib/libformw.dylib etc., which are  
installed by ncursesw, and shouldn't be there if ncursesw hasn't yet  
been installed
  * it's saying that these files are compiled for ppc

The simplest explanation is that these files were put there by a ppc  
installation of MacPorts. If that's the case, the simplest solution  
is to move /opt/local aside and reinstall from the disk image. If you  
can't install ncurses, I'm guessing you haven't been able to install  
much at all.
