--->  Some of the ports you installed have notes:
  coreutils has the following notes:
    The tools provided by GNU coreutils are prefixed with the character 'g' by default to distinguish them from the BSD commands.
    For example, cp becomes gcp and ls becomes gls.
    
    If you want to use the GNU tools by default, add this directory to the front of your PATH environment variable:
        /opt/local/libexec/gnubin/
  dbus has the following notes:
    Startup items (named 'dbus-system, dbus-session') have been generated that will aid in starting dbus with launchd. They are disabled by default. Execute the following command to start them, and to
    cause them to launch at startup:
    
        sudo port load dbus
  libpsl has the following notes:
    libpsl API documentation is provided by the port 'libpsl-docs'.

In past similar situation, I just uninstalled the package, did a cleanup and installed it back. It turns out, it worked in this case also. Yey! ;)
So what I did was (ffmpeg was included because it was removed during the uninstallation of librsvg):
1. sudo port -v uninstall librsvg
2. sudo port -v clean librsvg ffmpeg
3. sudo port -v install librsvg ffmpeg

Extended log:

fmbpro:~ florian$ sudo port -v uninstall librsvg                                      
The following versions of librsvg are currently installed:
 1) librsvg @2.42.2_0+viewer
 2) librsvg @2.42.2_2+viewer (active)

 adwaita-icon-theme @3.28.0_0
 ffmpeg @4.0_1
 ffmpeg @4.0_1
