Please follow WikiFormatting and fill out the port field and assign to the maintainer as ​documented in the guide.

[raimue (Rainer Müller)]

Without a log of the actual error there nothing we can look into. To retry a build from scratch, please use sudo port clean inkscape before trying the installation again.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

This is actually a fairly common issue with an easy fix. See wiki:ProblemHotlist#nodestrootfound.

Run:

sudo port clean boost

and try the install again.
