Welcome to MacPorts! Sorry you're having trouble; let's see what we  
can do.

You haven't shown us the relevant information. Which of the  
dependencies failed to build, and why? I suppose maybe it was gnome- 
keyring, but the DEBUG messages you showed us from gnome-keyring are  
normal status messages, not errors. (Not all ports provide the  
variants "darwin", "i386", "macosx", and so forth, but if those  
variants exist, MacPorts uses them. MacPorts is just telling you that  
gnome-keyring doesn't have these variants. It's not a problem.)

Show us the actual error message you get when installing xsane. Or is  
it one of the existing tickets we have for gnome-keyring?
