Description
I received a file copy error while trying to install ghostscript, as one of the dependencies for gv. The error is at the bottom of this message, with a few lines that precede the error for context. I have also listed my currently installed ports. (This is my first post. Please let me know if I should have done this differently.)

The work dir probably had junk in it. sudo port clean --work ghostscript would probably have fixed it.
This problem resolved itself after I wiped MacPorts off my drive, then reinstalled it, plus all of my ports.
