looks to me like some weird permission problem (ACLs? Unix perms?),
maybe it helps to (temporarily re-)move the build tree below
/opt/local/var/macports/build (simply ap-/prepend something to be able
to restore afterwards if it won't work) and try again.

When retrying, it could be helpful to also trace the whole process as
good as possible (just don't know, as i'm not that familiar with
macports, i'm talking from a more general Unix perspective), and if
problem remains, to try out thinks stepwise with (users/group and
environment in mind).
