The error reported in the ticket is the same as the one in your log:

/opt/local/include/utils.h: In function 'char* copystring(const char*)':
/opt/local/include/utils.h:90: error: invalid conversion from 'void*' to 'char*'
/opt/local/include/utils.h: In function 'char* catstring(char*, const char*)':
/opt/local/include/utils.h:100: error: invalid conversion from 'void*' to 'char*'
/opt/local/include/utils.h:102: error: invalid conversion from 'void*' to 'char*'

The problem is caused by having the file /opt/local/include/utils.h. That file is provided by cdparanoia. Therefore, the problem is caused by having cdparanoia installed, and worked around by uninstalling or deactivating cdparanoia for the duration of installing akonadi. #25989 talks of changes that were committed to prevent the failure even if cdparanoia was already installed, but these measures appear to have undone themselves somehow, so this needs to be re-fixed.
