Do you mean that goffice has something installed in
/opt/local/include/libgoffice-0.3? It seems that your goffice port
is out-of-date. Now, there's still a bug:

--->  Activating goffice03 0.3.8_0
Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/share/gtk-doc/html/goffice/ch01.html is being used by the active goffice port.  Please deactivate this port first, or use the -f flag to force the activation.

Since the goffice port is needed by other ports, deactivating it is not
an option (you may have problems with other software since you did that),
and the -f flag is dangerous and will lead to bad files installed (at
least for the doc). Since goffice03 is there only for compatibility,
there is probably no need to install the doc (or the doc should only be
installed via a variant). I haven't tried yet.

This needs to be fixed too (and warning: you can't revert such changes
easily!). See the thread "Gimp Error".
