The only errors in the log are "Operation not permitted", which is odd. (Are you sure you're using "sudo"?) Since the log also shows this was not a clean attempt, please "sudo port clean clang-3.1", then try again, then attach the new main.log if it fails again.

The user is using --with-no-root-privileges, and the error is from trying to chown to root:

:info:destroot chown -R root:wheel /Users/renaud/depinxi/macports/var/macports/build/_Users_renaud_depinxi_macports_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_llvm-3.1/clang-3.1/work/destroot/Users/renaud/depinxi/macports/libexec/llvm-3.1/lib/c++
:info:destroot chown: /Users/renaud/depinxi/macports/var/macports/build/_Users_renaud_depinxi_macports_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_llvm-3.1/clang-3.1/work/destroot/Users/renaud/depinxi/macports/libexec/llvm-3.1/lib/c++/v1/__bit_reference: Operation not permitted

I confirm I (voluntary) does not give macports the root privileges (I doesn't have admin access on all machines I have to deal with)

I'm also running into this problem. The bug looks to be on Clang's end. The installheaders target is not parameterized for whether or not to chown. If I comment out the chown line for the version of the file in my work directory, then the install is able to complete successfully as far as I can tell.

Relative path to patch: clang-3.3/work/trunk/projects/libcxx/Makefile

Clang file with issue: ​http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/libcxx/trunk/Makefile

It is perhaps not the loveliest of fixes, but we could just let MacPorts handle ownership instead of clang (see attached patch).
