Comment(by hans.ekkehard.plesser@…):

 The problem appears to be that the vtk5 Portfile does not ensure that the
 standard system compiler is used, ie gcc 4.2.1 on Snow Leopard, as it
 should according to MacPorts customs. Instead, whichever compiler is `gcc`
 and `g++` will be used.

 I managed to compile vtk5 after I made gcc 4.2.1 the standard compiler
 using
 {{{
 sudo gcc_select gcc42
 }}}
 before installing vtk5.
