Not built in, but you can print the install date with:

port -v installed

and pipe that through grep to find dates you're interested in. For example on my system:

port -v installed | grep 2016-04-12
  pango @1.40.1_0+quartz+universal+x11 platform='darwin 15' archs='i386 x86_64' date='2016-04-12 13:53:55'
  pango-devel @1.40.1_0+quartz+universal+x11 (active) platform='darwin 15' archs='i386 x86_64' date='2016-04-12 13:55:34'
  zlib @1.2.8_1+universal (active) platform='darwin 15' archs='i386 x86_64' date='2016-04-12 13:52:04'


(I'm not certain whether this feature is in MacPorts 2.3.4 or if you need to be running MacPorts trunk to get it.)
