Some port you have installed was installed when the render port  
existed. It has since been superseded by the xorg-renderproto port.  
"port dependents render" might tell you what port still has knowledge  
of the old render port. "port -nf upgrade thatport" might fix its  
dependencies so that it forgets about the render port.

I thought it might be this:

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16085

But that was fixed in 1.7.1 which you said you have... So I'm not sure.

It probably has to do with using "port upgrade installed" instead of  
"port upgrade outdated". So use the latter in the future.
