Not the OP, but I'm seeing the same problem. I've got a fully-updated 10.3.9 on
a beige G3 AIO (with a G4 processor upgrade), with 1.510, XCode version 1.5, and
no Fink.

I've wondered whether there might be a problem with a mismatch of the installed
XCode and the version of MacPorts in play here - neither
http://www.macports.org/ nor
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki/InstallingMacPorts are
particularly helpful in sorting out the question of what 10.3.x needs/can use. I
only installed 1.510 (specifically the 10.3 variant) because there appeared to
be nothing to contradict doing so and using an earlier version appropriate to
the installed XCode. I considered installing the X11 SDK from XCode 2.4.1,
perhaps some other parts of it, too, but demurred; why complicate matters?

I'm also unclear on the syntax for using variants on the command line;
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki/UsingMacPortsQuickStart is
muddy on this subject...

Information is not bubbling to the surface.
