xorg-kbproto has been obsolete since August 2018 and was removed in November 2019. You should uninstall it and activate xorg-libX11:

sudo port -f uninstall xorg-kbproto
sudo port activate xorg-libX11

To avoid such problems in the future, please selfupdate and upgrade your ports more frequently than once a year.
