The log says:

tsort: invalid option -- 'q'

This is curious since the tsort on my OS X box seems to support the -q option.

Since this was not a clean attempt, please "sudo port clean proctools" and try again, and attach the new main.log. Also please show the output of "which tsort".

main.log after "sudo port clean proctools" and "sudo port install proctools"

[nunoslvdr@…]

Ive added the new log file after cleaning and installing.

$ which tsort 
/usr/bin/tsort
$ /usr/bin/tsort --version
tsort (coreutils) 8.9

Is it possible you have replaced Apple's /usr/bin/tsort with someone else's? Your output says "coreutils"; I didn't think OS X included any components that came from coreutils. On my Mountain Lion system, on which /usr/bin/tsort has not been modified, I get:

$ /usr/bin/tsort --version
/usr/bin/tsort: illegal option -- -
usage: tsort [-lq] [file]

So that is what I would expect to see on your system as well. Check your backups and see if you can restore Apple's /usr/bin/tsort.

I got the osx Lion 10.7.4 and to be concrete, after running tsort --version i get this output:

$ /usr/bin/tsort --version
tsort (coreutils) 8.9

Right, and Lion has been out for over a year, and the proctools port has not been updated in 2.5 years. If there were a general problem building proctools on Lion we would have heard about it by now.

I don't have a Lion machine handy, but I checked on Snow Leopard, and its tsort behaves the same as mine on Mountain Lion. So I still believe that the file /usr/bin/tsort on your system is not the file that should be there, and you should replace it from your backups or by reinstalling OS X.
