When you say "from scratch" do you mean that you really removed the /opt/local directory entirely? The normal migration steps do not include doing that, nor is it recommended or required. But keeping that directory does imply that you'll be keeping any partial build attempts that you may have had in /opt/local/var/macports/build. You can of course remove them if desired, either manually or by cleaning the affected ports, or cleaning all. In MacPorts 2.7.0, port reclaim will also clean this for you.

That sounds like a good change to make.

Can't tell why without seeing the log.

Install Java.

Can't tell without seeing the logs.

The various node versions conflict with one another. Pick the single version that you want.

The message is accurate. There will be an update to allow wine to be built on 10.14 and later.

Use qt5-whatever, not qt513-whatever. You were only using qt513-whatever on 10.12 because 10.12 could not use the latest version of qt, but 10.14 can.
