Unlikely.
This on an iMac still running Mojave.
This morning I did selfupdate and upgrade outdated with the following
result:
Error: mysql57 cannot be built while boost is active.
Error: Please forcibly deactivate boost, e.g. by running:
Error:
Error: sudo port -f deactivate boost
Error:
Error: Then try again. You can reactivate boost again later.
I deactivated boost as instructed and ran upgrade outdated again.
This is a quirk of MySQL and its use of the Boost suite of C++
libraries, which have weak version compatibility discipline. Basically,
it's not safe to build MySQL without having its build tools download and
build a specific version of Boost. Since Boost is used by many other
open source packages, you almost certainly will need to reactivate the
port now that you have MySQL updated.
This time mysql built OK, but I got:
Error: Failed to configure postgresql84,
Yes. It does that on Snow Leopard and High Sierra too. I don't think it
can be fixed in a safe and maintainable way. See below...
The postgresql8* ports really should all be removed. PostgreSQL 8.4 is 4
major versions and 5+ years obsolete and the MacPorts ports have no
maintainer. You should figure out why you have postgresql84 installed
and update to a currently supported version. See
https://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/ for more information.
Since postgresql84 is just the client components of PostgreSQL, updating
to a current version shouldn't have much risk. If you also have
postgresql84-server installed, that would imply that you have a
PostgreSQL server running (i.e. with a database) and that may require
substantial work that MacPorts can't do for you.

Error: Failed to configure postgresql84: configure failure: command

The config.log file referred to is just under 1000 lines long. Is
there anything in particular I should look for?
It is unlikely to be worth your time, but the failure I get shows up in
that log starting at line 694:

Your line numbers may vary.
The cause of this is that "SSL_library_init" is a function that does not
exist in OpenSSL v1.1.x. It MAY be possible to install an old OpenSSL
and fix the Portfile or write a patch to make the configure and build
work, but then you'll have an obsolete PostgreSQL linked to an obsolete
OpenSSL, and you really do not want that.
