The terminal output shows the expat activation error again, you forcing the activation as Bradley suggested, and then encountering a similar activation error with another popular port, libiconv. This is further confirmation that another software package has installed software unannounced into MacPorts' prefix, as explained in the above ProblemHotlist entry. It will be simplest if you follow the instructions in the last paragraph of that ProblemHotlist entry: uninstall MacPorts and all ports completely, then start again, and do not reinstall the software (presumably SMBup) that caused this problem.
