By chance I started to upgrade from source and got:

Main.log from High Sierra 10.13.6

It looks like it's building fine for 10.13 on our buildbots:

​https://ports.macports.org/port/libvpx/builds/

Can you try installing the binary, via sudo port -b upgrade libvpx?

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

Replying to mascguy:

I did not use -b, just my usual -vd, but it worked to install the binary package as an upgrade.

Great, glad it's working!

FWIW, I am also experiencing these symptoms on Big Sur 11.6.5. However, -b doesn't work for me:

Error: Failed to archivefetch libvpx: Binary-only mode requested with no usable archive sites configured
