Ok, that looks like the images-to-archives script, so this prefix was using MacPorts < 2.0.0; vercmp is the new name for rpm_vercomp as of 2.0.3.

I myself encountered the error today in an alternate MacPorts install, and discovered I had forgotten to selfupdate it from 2.0.1.

Not entirely sure what this is about. Does that file exist? If so, delete it and try again? Are the permissions and ownership of that directory and every directory leading up to it correct?
