Specifically what filename, what portname, etc.? Are both occurrences  
of PORTNAME in the message above the same portname? If so, did you  
already have the port installed, and are now trying to install it  
again? If so, that would account for the error. You would want to  
sudo port upgrade, not sudo port install, for ports that are already  
installed.

Might help. Hard to know at this point.
