Comment (by peter at pogma.com):

 Oh well, thought that would help - the ntop port runs autogen.sh to run
 libtoolize, automake, autoconf etc in the build directory - since you are
 on Tiger and that comes with quite old version s of those tools, I thought
 that may be the problem. I guess I will just leave it to the ntop
 maintainer.

 Another thing I noticed when looking at autogen.sh is this
 {{{
 echo "2. Preparing for libtool ...."
 $LIBTOOLIZE --copy --force

 if [ ! -f libtool.m4.in ]; then
   echo "    Finding libtool.m4.in"
   if [ -f /usr/local/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 ]; then
      echo "        .... found /usr/local/share/aclocal/libtool.m4"
      cp /usr/local/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 libtool.m4.in
   else
      if [ -f /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 ]; then
       echo "        .... found /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4"
       cp /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 libtool.m4.in
      else
       echo "        .... not found - aborting!"
      fi
   fi
 fi
 echo "        .... done"
 echo ""
 }}}

 So it will probably get the ltmain.sh from MacPorts' relatively recent
 version of libtool, but generate the configure script from
 /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4, which is relatively old. It may be an
 issue, but I doubt that it is this one.
