Since the first thing shown for readline is "Applying patches" instead of "Fetching" or "Extracting", this suggests you had previously started installing readline and cancelled it just after it finished the patch phase but before it recorded that it had finished the patch phase. So now it's trying to apply the patches a second time, and failing, because they are already applied.

In those situations you usually see the message "Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [n]". But the readline port not only applies patchfiles to the source files, it also has a post-patch step which does a reinplace on shobj-conf. Therefore the way the file looks now is not exactly the way it would look after only applying the patches, therefore the patch program doesn't know what to do.

The solution should be to clean the port, selfupdate to make sure you have the latest MacPorts and port definitions, and try again. This is probably the first step you should try any time any port fails.

sudo port clean readline
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port upgrade readline
