Check the log. What's more, trace mode failed to catch this.

Yeah, trace mode is broken on recent OS versions. The sandbox-exec in trunk would stop it though.

Summary: xercesc @2.8.0 leaves files outside of the MacPorts prefix → xercesc @2.8.0 installs files outside of the MacPorts prefix

Oh, looking at the log, I misunderstood. It installed into ${destroot}/destroot/. Trace mode etc. don't and can't catch something like this. The mtree check does flag it: 

:debug:destroot checking for mtree violations
:warn:destroot violation by /destroot
:warn:destroot xercesc violates the layout of the ports-filesystems!
:warn:destroot Please fix or indicate this misbehavior (if it is intended), it will be an error in future releases!
