MacPorts clears the environment, so environment variables should not be able to affect a MacPorts build.

It builds fine for me, and those last 20 lines of log don't seem to be enough to be able to tell what went wrong. You're building with 4 jobs ("-j4") so the real error could be hundreds of lines back.

Please clean and try again:

sudo port clean opencv
sudo port install opencv +python27

If it fails again, please file a bug report in the issue tracker and include the entire main.log file. (You'll probably want to compress it before attaching it since it will be large.)
