Run in debug mode and let us know where it gets stuck.

sudo port clean xmlto
sudo port -d install xmlto

Upgrade your libxml2 port, it looks like 2.7.4 had some issues and 2.7.5 should be fine (after upgrading libxml2, be sure to sudo port clean --work xmlto before installing).

Hello!

Thanks that worked great. after updating libxml2 to 2.7.5 I was able to build git with no problems! Cheers
