nevermind - my apologies, this was a strange configuration problem on my machine. I think the trouble was that there were an extraction program (xz) on my Mac within a mode 0000 directory (/usr/pkg) that macports found when i built and installed it, and it was trying to use this program to extract the macports source, and failing.

Please close this ticket!

for followers, I just got this, and for me it meant that extract was using a "separately installed" /usr/local/bin/xz executable, which for some reason caused the extract ? to fail. Renaming that file caused it to build as normal.
