The error shown in the log is:

Why does this file already exist on your system? How did it get there?

Hello, thank you for your answer. Now, I think I have a problem linked with 10.11 El Capitan. I obtain this error :
Error: python25 is not supported on Yosemite or later. Error: org.macports.fetch for port python25 returned: unsupported platform Error: Failed to install python25
I have tried to reinstall as they advice here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27873045/port-upgrade-outdated-fails-in-yosemite but I obtain the same error.
Others dependencies have to be installed too:
Error: The following dependencies were not installed: python25 tk Xft2 tcl xorg-libXScrnSaver xorg-scrnsaverproto

That's a completely different problem. There's nothing much to explain there: the message is clear: "python25 is not supported on Yosemite or later". Use a later version of Python, such as python27 or python34.
Getting back to your original problem. You didn't answer my question. Why does the file inputproto.pc already exist on your system? If you cannot answer the question, then it's likely there are other files in /opt/local that MacPorts did not put there which will cause other problems later. In that case, you should uninstall MacPorts, including removing the /opt/local directory. That way you can be sure there are no unwanted files in there. Then reinstall MacPorts and the ports you want.
