Each failure will need individual investigation by reading the main.log file.

404 errors when fetching archives are not a problem. When MacPorts cannot fetch an archive, it builds from source. If *that* fails, *that's* a problem.

Some of the ports you mentioned, like perl5.16 and llvm-3.3, are ancient and may not be buildable on Ventura, or even if they build they may have bugs that were fixed a long, long time ago. Use newer versions of these ports, for example perl5.34 and llvm-15.

The cctools failure is explained in the error message. Clean the port and try again. Probably you want to run "sudo port install cctools" without specifying any variant, to let MacPorts pick the best variant for your system, if indeed you need to install the port at all. If you don't know that you need the port, don't install it. MacPorts will install it if it's needed as a dependency later.

You should probably read through the list of ports in myports.txt and remove any that you do not explicitly want rather than just reinstalling all the ports you had on your old system, some of which may have at one point been needed as a dependency of something but which aren't anymore.
