New description:

 I am trying to install Boost as follows:

 {{{
 sudo port -s install boost +no_static +python27 configure.compiler
 =macports-gcc-4.8 configure.cxx_stdlib=libc++
 }}}

 I'm getting this error:

 {{{
 Error: Unable to open port: invalid command name "configure.cxx_stdlib"
 Error: Unable to execute port: upgrade zlib failed
 }}}

 I recently upgraded to Mavericks. I followed the MacPort migration page,
 deleting all old ports and reinstalling the ones I thought I needed. I
 reinstalled gcc and clang, but maybe I'm still missing something I need?
 I've run port selfupdate a few times, which has not solved the problem.

Comment:

 `configure.cxx_stdlib` is a new variable that is not available in the
 currently-released version of MacPorts base (2.2.x); it's only available
 in trunk (which will eventually become MacPorts 2.3).

 Why are you trying to set `configure.compiler` and `configure.cxx_stdlib`
 on the command line? You should let MacPorts install the port the way it
 wants to install it, with the usual compiler and C++ standard library.
