I have since discovered the +full variant and tried that after a

third attempt.

I'll now try again.
It stalled for the third time.
FYI, you can use the -d debug switch to get more information, including
download progress.
sudo port -d install texlive +full
But MacPorts doesn't resume partial downloads; it restarts them from the
beginning. So if the download keeps stalling and you find you need to retry and
resume, downloading manually in a browser, as you then tried, should work
better.
I went directly to http://distfiles.macports.org/texlive-fonts-extra/ and tried
to download from the site. My download stopped at 85Mb on a 111Mb file. I then
paused the download after waiting about ten minutes for it to resume by itself.
The resume button resumed the download and the file size to be downloaded
changed from 111Mb to 158Mb.
What is that all about?
It has stalled again at 133Mb of 158 Mb. Hitting the pause and then the
resume was unsuccessful this time. The browser download window announces
'Unknown time remaining - 133 of 158 MB (0 bytes/sec)' and no changes upon
repeat stops and resumes.
I don't know what that's about.
According to "curl -I
http://distfiles.macports.org/texlive-fonts-extra/texlive-fonts-extra-13989.tar.bz2";
the file size is 166189238 bytes (166 MiB or 158 MB).
It would appear there is an error in the composition of the file
'texlive-fonts-extra-13989.tar.bz2' or in the surface of the storage media.
Or with the network.
Ah, yes, the web of lies. I'll remember that -d for my next monster
port. texlive has loaded the /opt/local/bin directory. gv was my next
port and it worked just fine.
Shalom,
