In response to this failure, I created a sed script to convert the myports.txt file into a bash script. It's not the best solution, but it sorta works for me.

$ cat myports.txt | /usr/bin/sed \
 -e 's/@[._0-9a-zA-Z\-]*+/+/' \
 -e 's/@[._0-9a-zA-Z \-]*(active)//' \
 -e 's/(active)//' \
 -e 's/+/ +/g' \
 -e 's/[+]darwin[_i0-9]*//g' \
 -e 's/+macosx//g' \
 -e 's/+i386//g' \
 -e 's/+gcc[0-9]*//' \
 -e '$q;s/$/ \\/' \
 -e 's/.*currently installed:.*/#!\/bin\/bash/' \
 -e '/\bin\/bash/ a\
 sudo port install \\
 ' > myports.bash
$ chmod +x myports.bash
$ ./myports.bash

Apparently your selection of variants for VLC doesn't work:

% port info VLC +bonjour+dvb+fribidi+huge+live555+macosx+mod+mpc+osd+sdl+shout+speex+svg+theora+twolame+vcd+x264
Error: Unable to open port: Error evaluating variants
