Comment (by raimue at macports.org):

 This is an error for many ports using autoconf and link against X11, but
 only after the upgrade from Tiger to Leopard. The updater leaves
 unexpected paths. So who is to blame?

 You could file a bug with Apple, but I don't think anything will change in
 the Leopard updater (nor will it affect people using older DVDs). As far
 as I found the [http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-
 autoconf at gnu.org/msg01431.html problem is fixed] in autoconf/automake CVS,
 but I expect that it will take another few years to spread a version with
 this fix included.

 Please understand that we are not going to fix configure scripts for so
 many ports as there is a much simpler solution. Just remove these paths
 and everything will work fine.
