You're trying to install postgis 1.3.1 but the current version in  
MacPorts is 1.3.3. You also have a lot of other outdated ports  
already installed. Please do:

	sudo port sync

followed by

	port outdated

and then please update all your outdated ports (e.g. "sudo port  
upgrade foo" for each outdated port foo).

Is there a particular reason why you have libiconv 1.11_6 active  
instead of the newer 1.12_0? I recommend:

	sudo port deactivate libiconv @1.11_6+darwin_8
	sudo port activate libiconv @1.12_0
	sudo port clean --work postgis
	sudo port install postgis

According to "port info postgis" it requires postgres83, unless you  
use its +postgres82 variant, in which case it requires postgres82.
