The log says:

:info:build /usr/include/stdarg.h:4:25: error: stdarg.h: No such file or directory

stdarg.h existed in OS X 10.4 Tiger, but not thereafter. This inclusion is coming from apr; the relevant lines of apr_tables.h say:

#if APR_HAVE_STDARG_H
#include <stdarg.h>     /* for va_list */
#endif

apr should know that stdarg.h doesn't exist anymore. The fact that it doesn't suggests something is wrong with your apr, so try rebuilding it:

sudo port clean apr
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port -n upgrade --force apr

Do you have anything in /usr/local? If so it might be interfering; remove or rename it, clean and try again.

What are you talking about, Ryan?

% ls -l /usr/include/stdarg.h 
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  234 30 Sep  2009 /usr/include/stdarg.h

The file obviously exists on the reporter's machine because that's where the error is being generated.

Reporter, do you have /usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin10/4.2.1/include/stdarg.h? If it's missing, you probably need to reinstall the Xcode "UNIX Development" component.
