Description
This page says, "Ensure you have at least the command line tools installed by running xcode-select --install from a Terminal. Make sure to also run this even if you have Xcode installed...."
You might want to remove this instruction. At least with Xcode 5.0.2, the CL tools are included internally as part of the package contents of Xcode. When one runs that xcode-select command, the CL tools are installed externally in a duplicate folder at /Library/Developer. Not only is it unnecessary to run that xcode-select command, but doing so results in two sets of CL tools, in two separate locations.
The --install switch is no longer listed as an option for xcode-select. See the output of xcode-select -h. It seems to be a bad idea to tell everyone to execute this command on Mavericks.

Many many ports fail to build without headers installed at /usr/include. Running xcode-select --install creates this directory and installs system headers there.
Take this to macports-dev if you wish to discuss it further.
See https://trac.macports.org/wiki/MavericksProblems, under Updating MacPorts Base, the second paragraph.
