"Waiting for lock on /opt/local/var/macports/registry/.registry.lock" means MacPorts is already running and doing things. You could check for any running "port" processes in Activity Monitor. Wait until these tasks are finished (or terminate them if you don't care that they don't finish) before trying to do other things with MacPorts.
