The error with libx264 looks suspicious given that x264 is in the list  
of outdated ports...
If you let the upgrade finish then do

sudo port clean --work ffmpeg
sudo port upgrade ffmpeg

it builds and installs properly.

My install of ffmpeg uses variant +x264

My guess is that this is a very difficult build dependency to  
determine, since the dependency is only there if the variant is  
selected.
