My mail will not work, I have a clip board editor that is non-functional (when the earlier version is active), and I see that bsdtar has issues as well.  Unfortunately I did not retain all of the previously installed items that are affected by this.  So, even if I have some bash scripts to activate/inactivate known items (for use with claws-mail, meld, KeePassXC, etc.), I am sure that there are other - unknown things that will break that I am not prepared for.

did you try running "port rev-upgrade" manually?
It is run automatically if everything completes, but if upgrade breaks, 
this can help! Maybe it fixes some packages... and maybe you can cycle.

Or you could (temporarily) uninstall some packages which do not work 
anyway, e.g. all qt related ports and qt. Gent a consistent system and 
re-add carefully.
