First, ensure you are update to date > sudo port sync > sudo port upgrade outdated If any ports request a rebuild, let them do it. If you still have problems you need to isolate the specific port you have trouble with, and then submit a trac ticket for that port, uploading a *complete* build log from a clean build attempt for it.
