Do you know where /bin/gawk came from?  Since it links to something in
/opt/local, seems like it may have been copied from a MacPorts install into
/bin, but MacPorts itself will not do anything in /usr or /bin like that.
I'd suggest removing /bin/gawk, cleaning ncursesw (sudo port clean --work
ncursesw) then trying again.

Also, make sure you don't have other bits in /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, or
/usr/sbin that may have been copied from other places.
