Please do not refer to that web site for any information about
MacPorts. It is not authoritative, is inaccurate, and is not owned by
us. For more information about this situation please see:
http://trac.macports.org/wiki/DarwinPorts
Please refer to http://www.macports.org/ for all official information
about MacPorts.

I'm not sure how you got in this situation. How did you initially
install MacPorts? On what machine, with what version of Mac OS X,
Xcode and MacPorts? Are you still on those versions or have you
upgraded (to what)? Have you run "sudo port selfupdate" to make sure
you have the latest MacPorts and port definitions? If you still
experience the issue, can you please clean the affected port ("sudo
port clean xorg-libX11") and then try again with the debug switch
("sudo port -d install xorg-libX11") and send us all the output so we
can try to figure out what's going wrong?
