When trying to install cmake, I get:

The start of the error is missing, run in debug mode.

Yes, please do:

port clean cmake
port -d build cmake > cmake-build.txt

Please attach the resulting text file to the ticket.

So the proximate cause is:

warning: in /usr/local/lib/libcurses.dylib, file is not of required architecture

So a non-MacPorts library is causing a conflict with the installed version. Do you know why you have libncurses installed into /usr/local? If you remove that one, clean, then rebuild the port, does everything work?

I have no idea why it's there. I removed it and rebuilt: it works fine now. Sorry for the bother. :(
