In the future, please use WikiFormatting, fill in the Port field and Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers pango).

The log says:

:info:build dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libfontconfig.1.dylib
:info:build   Referenced from: /opt/local/lib/libcairo.2.dylib
:info:build   Reason: image not found

So the question is: why doesn't /opt/local/lib/libfontconfig.1.dylib exist on your system? Is the fontconfig port installed and active? Find out by running:

port -v installed fontconfig

The log you attached also wasn't from a clean attempt, so you should ​clean and try again:

sudo port clean pango
sudo port install pango

If that doesn't work, rebuilding fontconfig might be the next step to try:

sudo port -n upgrade --force fontconfig

Problem solved. Rebuilding fontconfig did it. Thanks a lot. Sorry for the formatting issues, I'm new on this.

Ok, glad that worked.
