Since you already have a version of sqlite3 installed (3.6.1_0), install (or
technically, activate) fails.  Since you've already done the install, you
can simply uninstall the older version with

$ sudo port uninstall sqlite3 @3.6.1_0

then activate the new version

$ sudo port activate sqlite3

In the future, you can avoid that by just using

$ sudo port upgrade sqlite3

See the guide's section on this (and the guide in general if you're new to
MacPorts):
