I've just searched the list archives for a similar problem and  
came up with http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/ 
2007-April/002294.html. The error-message I receive is absolutely  
the same, the only difference is that I'm not actually trying to  
install XFree86, as I have Apples X11 already installed. I  
checked /Library/Receipts, and both the X11User.pkg and the  
X11SDK.pkg are installed...
The error from the above message:

So... you're also getting the error message that "/usr/X11R6/bin/ 
appres already exists and does not belong to a registered port"?  
What port is being activated at the time?
Thanks for the reply, I don't know exactly what you mean, this is  
what I did including output:

                     You have an Apple X11 installation already.
                         MacPorts will not overwrite it.

                     If you really want to use XFree86 instead,
                         please move it aside first :

I hope this helps, as I'm kind of lost.
