 My experience:

 Use these variables to override the choices made by `configure' or to help
 it to find libraries and programs with nonstandard names/locations.
 if $ac_init_version; then
   cat <<\_ACEOF

 }}}

 That configure file looks clearly bogus; it has comment text that is not
 preceded by '#'

 Editing the configure file and removing the offending pseudo-command,
 yields this:
 {{{
 wednet% sudo port install ghc
 --->  Configuring ghc
 --->  Building ghc with target all
 Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command "env
 DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib make" returned error 2
 Command output: make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.
 Stop.
