Comment:

 I think you're seeing that error because you tried to install sheepshaver,
 it failed for some reason during the configure phase, and then you tried
 again without first cleaning the port. So clean the port ("sudo port clean
 sheepshaver"), then try again, and see what the actual error message is.
 When I try on my system, I get a syntax error in the configure script,
 probably because the version of autoconf we have in MacPorts (which is
 generating the configure script) is so much newer than the version the
 configure script template in this old version of sheepshaver was written
 for.

 sheepshaver is very old software though and nobody has been looking after
 it in MacPorts for years (see #15088 for example) and I'm not sure if it
 can be compiled on Snow Leopard, even if we update it. But I'll see what I
 can do.
