Looks like a few man pages overlap in these ports, e.g.:

--->  Fetching openmpi
--->  Attempting to fetch openmpi-1.3.2.tar.bz2 from http://distfiles.macports.org/openmpi
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for openmpi
--->  Extracting openmpi
--->  Configuring openmpi
--->  Building openmpi
--->  Staging openmpi into destroot
--->  Installing openmpi @1.3.2_0
--->  Activating openmpi @1.3.2_0
Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/share/man/man1/mpicc.1.gz is being used by the active mpich2 port.  Please deactivate this port first, or use 'port -f activate openmpi' to force the activation.

Maybe this bug can have an impact on the hdf5-18 installation, e.g.:

$ port upgrade -uR outdated

That's odd. hdf5-18 doesn't even depend on openmpi or mpich2. Parallel was initially enabled in the hdf5-18 port, but in was disabled in r47900, since it didn't actually work. Since then the version number has been bumped from 1.8.2 to 1.8.3. Maybe uninstall hdf5-18 and then reinstall it.
