Please attach the main.log file. The relevant error message will be earlier in the log.

The main log has been attached, Thank you for the clarification.

Thanks. The log documents eight attempts to install qgis3.

The first through fifth attempts failed due to:

:info:build /bin/sh: ccache: command not found

This is curious; ports should only use ccache if MacPorts instructs them to, which it should only do if you have set configureccache yes in macports.conf and the ccache port is installed. Have you set that, and do you have that port installed? I recommend either installing ccache and setting that config value to yes, or else uninstalling ccache and setting that config value to no. If you install ccache but leave the config value set to no, some ports will detect the presence of ccache and try to use it on their own which can fail (and is a bug which we should fix, if that's what's going on here).

The sixth through eighth attempts failed due to:

:info:build CMake Error at stageinstall.cmake:2 (file):
:info:build   file COPY cannot set permissions on
:info:build   "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_gis_qgis3/qgis3/work/build/output/python/plugins/MetaSearch/./__init__.py":
:info:build   Operation not permitted.

I'm not quite sure why this operation would now suddenly not be permitted, but the usual advice, before trying to troubleshoot further, is to clean the port (sudo port clean qgis3) before trying again, since sometimes a reattempt without cleaning after a previous failure can lead to new and different failures.
