Comment:

 You have readline installed for x86_64, and are now trying to build it for
 i386, and the readline build is finding the old already-installed library
 of the wrong architecture instead of the new one it just built. To
 overcome this, you would deactivate the currently-installed readline (sudo
 port deactivate readline) before trying to build a new one.

 However, why are you now trying to build for i386? Have you deliberately
 set build_arch to i386 in macports.conf? If so, then that's fine; if not,
 reconsider, because x86_64 is the usual architecture to use on Snow
 Leopard. If you are deliberately trying to build for i386 now, you'll have
 an easier time if you first uninstall all existing ports since they were
 built for x86_64.
