Looks like the ImageMagick source directory doesn't exist (you probably deleted it in your cleanup efforts), but MacPorts is starting here from the Build phase, meaning it thinks it's already completed the earlier phases Fetch, Extract (during which the source directory would have been created), Patch, Configure. So you just need to clean the port and try again.

sudo port clean ImageMagick
sudo port install ImageMagick

If it fails again, please send the complete main.log.

P.S: Cleaning and trying again should be the first thing you try anytime something fails in MacPorts.
