Xcode 2.0 is too old. Please upgrade to Xcode 2.4.1 or 2.5. You can get it from http://connect.apple.com/. You'll need an Apple Developer Connection account to do so, but you can get one for free.

I'd like to, but I don't know where to find it. I searched old Console logs and found nothing. What I attached is the copy of the Porticus log contents. After failing with Porticus i tried installing from command line, but with no success.

Thanks, I'll try this too.

The log you attached says:

Warning: port definitions are more than two weeks old, consider using selfupdate

You should run selfupdate regularly to keep up to date.

Warning: The installed version of Xcode (2.0orlower) is known to cause problems. Version 2.5 or later is recommended on Mac OS X 10.4.

This echoes what I already stated in this ticket.

Error: Unable to execute port: invalid command name "installs_libs"

This means you are running an old version of MacPorts that doesn't understand the "installs_libs" directive that we now use in some ports. This directive was added 18 months ago in r78924 and released as part of MacPorts 2.0. Please update to the latest version of MacPorts, 2.1.2, by running "sudo port selfupdate".
