Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/bin/captoinfo already exists and does not belong to a registered port.  Unable to activate port ncursesw.

Such kind of error is not a bug in the port (if the filename starts with /opt/local except /opt/local/etc). You just need to remove /opt/local/bin/captoinfo that was installed by some broken software (ncursesw is not responsible for that).
