I assume you are talking about starting up with the 32-bit kernel instead of the 64-bit kernel? MacPorts shouldn't care what kernel you're running.

You either didn't install Xcode, or told it to omit (or didn't tell it to include) the command-line tools / UNIX development tools. See item 3 here:

The Xcode page in the Mac App Store shows that you have the Install Xcode program installed. Run that program to actually install Xcode.

Note that after upgrading to a new major release of OS X you will probably need to reinstall MacPorts and all ports. Read:
