Some progress:
I followed Ken's suggestion below (clean and try again). Now the logfile
revealed that it was missing libreadline.7.dylib, which caused
generation of the make file to fail.
Sure enough, I have libreadline.8.dylib. Macports does not have the
presumably older version 7 anymore.
Got myself out of that one by manually creating a link to
libreadline.8.0.dylib from libreadline.7.dylib. Crossed fingers & tried
again: Success. gtk-doc is now installed. (All this hassle for updating
by one minor incremental release... sheesh!).
Next step is that gnutls does not want to build. I get a message about
it cannot build with autoconf-archive being active. I'll have to put
this down for now as some real work needs to get done first.
Ryan suggested I file a bug report, unfortunately none of my browsers on
this 10.6.8 system work with Github so that has to wait until I get back
to my more modern machine.
I am not giving up yet.

Ken, thanks.
I did as you suggested (having clang 5 already installed some time ago).
It installs a lot of dependencies that it did not try before. It even updated clang
5.0 itself (which I don't really appreciate) Eventually it craps out on gtk-doc, with
an error during configuration (somewhat unusual).. Now, why gtk-doc is required is
beyond me; I can certainly live without documentations. Also, I have a bunch of
gtkdoc-<something> files in /opt/local/bin so I think I may hae gtk-doc already.
Anyway, stuck again. Log attached.
I see:
This file was extended by gtk-doc config.status 1.29, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.69. Invocation command line was
CONFIG_FILES =
CONFIG_HEADERS =
CONFIG_LINKS =
CONFIG_COMMANDS =
$ ./config.status
on mbp-17
config.status:1261: creating Makefile
config.status:1413: error: could not create Makefile
Which is a weird error --- is your disk full or something?
anyway,
sudo port clean gtk-doc
sudo port -v install gtk-doc
should work, did for me:
$ port -v installed gtk-doc
The following ports are currently installed:
gtk-doc @1.29_2+python36 (active) platform='darwin 10' archs='noarch'
date='2019-01-06T17:27:05-0800'

I am sorry to hear that. Almost every port builds for me on 10.6.8. There are
few exceptions these days -- only MacOS SDK issues.
But unfortunately the blacklisting and whitelisting and fallbacks in MacPorts
don't always work out, as hard as we try to make it happen.
I default to build every port with clang-5.0 these days, by setting this in
"/opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf"
default_compilers macports-clang-5.0 macports-clang-3.9
macports-clang-3.8 macports-clang-3.7 gcc-4.2 llvm-gcc-4.2 apple-gcc-4.2
apple-gcc-4.0 gcc-4.2 gcc-4.0
IF you would like to get MPlayer to build, you most likely would have success
doing the same, or for a one-off build, do something like this:
sudo port clean MPlayer
sudo port -v install MPlayer configure.compiler=macports-clang-5.0
I dream of the day that all of MacPorts is set up to:
1. use libc++I for every build
2. use clang-5.0 or newer for every build
but in the meantime you may need to force a compiler as I showed above.
It does work:
$ port -v installed mplayer
The following ports are currently installed:
MPlayer @1.3.0_3 (active) platform='darwin 10' archs='x86_64'
date='2019-01-22T19:47:43-0800'
as far back as 10.4 on all systems.
Best,
Ken

Tried to build ir on 10.6 but no luck. Craps out on MPlayer.
log attached.
Any hint would be welcome

Some folks over in the MacRumors forums noticed this `smtube` YouTube
mini-browser works very nicely on older systems (10.7 and less).
I put together a port for it, and I have to say I'm pleased with the
performance as well.
If you're interested and have an older system like this, please consider giving
it a try!
