I followed the instructions in your link #3, but the port failed. I do have Mac 
OS 10.9, which apparently was causing problems earlier, but that was since 
reported as fixed. I previously have Frescobaldi installed via Philippe 
Massart's method, and so the command I used was this, copied directly from the 
instructions in the migration section:

sudo port -f install frescobaldi

Here is the output in Terminal beginning where the first warning occurs:

It seems to me it is snagging on the fact that a needed component is already 
installed, but I don't know what to do about it. However, it is not critical 
for me, since I still have the current version installed the old way and that 
still works as it did before I tried to install with the new MacPorts install. 
Which is not to say perfectly (since it is a bit quirky in OS 10.9), but 
besides a few hiccups, it works fine.
