Please see the log file for port pkgconfig for details:

Here is the log ​http://codepad.org/9R6TfJQI. Then I install jpeg libmng lcms tiff libpng sqlite3 libedit, but it fails to install dbus pkgconfig. Here is the new log ​http://codepad.org/5pE92Fng

I see the log says:

But this was also not a clean attempt, so we can't really trust this error. Please "sudo port clean pkgconfig", then try again, then attach the new main.log to this ticket if it fails again.

The user responded by email:

thanks, it installs qt4 fine, please delete ticket

So it looks like this was another case of #29223.
