Try allowing more files to be opened with:

  ulimit -n 512

or

  ulimit -n 1024

As previously reported, I found the following to be effective:


During the reinstall port process there were a few times when it halted for 
some reason or another (e.g., "too many files open”). I found that re-running 

sudo rm -rf /opt/local/var/macports/build/*
followed by 

sudo ./restore_ports.tcl myports.txt

allowed the process to continue.

The log shows you encountered the error "too many open files" while running 
./restore_ports.tcl. This is probably:

https://trac.macports.org/ticket/50986

Please try installing fewer ports at once.
