We would need to see debug output to know why either of these is  
failing.

The -d flag gives you debug output, but you're not seeing it because  
you've put the flag in the wrong place. It needs to be before, not  
after, the verb. For example, it needs to be

sudo port -d install nagios

and not

sudo port install -d nagios

Note that "-u" (uninstall old version) only has effect for the  
"upgrade" verb, and "-c" (clean) is the default unless you have  
changed the value of portautoclean in your macports.conf.
