Comment (by dersh at alum.mit.edu):

 I am seeing the same problem with 10.5.2 on Intel.

 I never had this problem with the earlier version of poppler (I had
 0.6.4_0 installed).  This bug report looks similar, although not
 identical: [http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/13595
 Ticket #13595]

 It looks to me like Poppler is trying to build qt4viewer, and is looking
 in a qt working directory that doesn't exist.
 That raises two question, that perhaps someone else can answer:

 1)  What is qt4viewer and why is poppler trying to build it?

 2)  Why is it trying to find something in a (qt) work directory?  It seems
 to be looking for a working directory and ../../qt4/src.
 {{{
 /bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=CXX   --mode=link /usr/bin/g++-4.0  -Wall
 -Wno-write-strings -O2  -L/opt/local/lib -o poppler_qt4viewer

 /qt-mac-opensource-src-4.3.4/lib -lQtGui -lpng -lQtXml -lQtTest -lQtCore
 -lz -lm   -lz
 }}}
 I see that I don't have this working directory, but I do have qt
 installed.  Shouldn't poppler be trying to find anything that it needs in
 the appropriate installed directory, not in work directory?  As I
 understand it (correct me if I am wrong) working directories are temporary
 and get deleted after a successful build?  So another port should not be
 counting on them to exist.
