Thanks Daniel! This fixed the installation problem.
Now to the problem that induced me to try a reinstall in the first
place.
When I launch emacs, it does not generate a new X window but rather
comes up in the xterm from which I launch it. Other X applications
(xeyes, xcalc) seem to work fine so I don't suspect my X11
installation or environment settings. I have not seen this problem
in years and always tracked it before to DISPLAY settings. This time
I am stumped.
I know a lot of people have moved to Aqua or Carbon versions of emacs
and I am playing with those while I struggle. But I would like to
have the option of a native X version.
The error that might be the problem is one that I get in the Messages
window after launching emacs:
Warning: Lisp directory `/opt/local/share/emacs/21.4/leim' does not
exist.
This directory is, indeed, missing. I don't know a whole lot about
it but could the files in this directory have something to do with X
window support:?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Cheers,
Rob

Does that help localize the problem?
In the file you attached:
DEBUG: activating file: /opt/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/subdirs.el
DEBUG: hardlinking /opt/local/var/db/dports/software/emacs/21.4a_1
+darwin_8/opt/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/subdirs.el to /opt/local/
share/emacs/site-lisp/subdirs.el failed, symlinking instead
DEBUG: Activation failed, rolling back.
and then later:
DEBUG: deactivating file: /opt/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/subdirs.el
DEBUG: /opt/local/share/emacs/site-lisp is not empty
I would do something like this (assuming you haven't put anything
into the site-lisp directory that you want to save, I'm not an
emacs user, so I'm not sure what gets put there):
sudo port -f uninstall emacs
rm -Rf /opt/local/share/emacs/site-lisp
sudo port -dv install emacs
