The log still shows the same error described in
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/59258 and shows that MacPorts still recognizes
that you have Xcode 4.2.
Deleting parts of logs can make it harder for us to help you. A better file
size reduction choice is to compress the log.

The /Developer folder is obsolete. You can delete it. It is where Apple used to
install Xcode and associated files, but sometime after Xcode 4.2 they stopped
doing that. Xcode now belongs in /Applications.
You can use "xcode-select -print-path" to see what Xcode your system is
configured to use. MacPorts will use this Xcode.
Assuming it does not say the path is
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer, change it to that by running "sudo
xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer"
Then you can run "sudo port clean source-highlight" and try to install it again.
