Comment:

 As the reporter you don't need to Cc yourself.

 Having stuff in `/usr/local` is unsupported when using MacPorts. Move it
 aside, run `sudo port rev-upgrade` and the problem will be gone.

 Nonetheless,
  - the library in `/usr/local/lib/libuuid.1.1.dylib` is not built
 correctly. Libraries on OS X should always contain their full path as id
 (the first line in the `otool -L` output). You can fix this manually using
 `install_name_tool -id`, see `man 1 install_name_tool`. You should also
 notify whoever built this library so he can fix the problem properly.
  - the `wget` port should disable linking against libuuid, even if it is
 installed. It seems the `./configure` interface does not provide a switch
 to do that, though, so patching the relevant part of `configure.ac` and
 adding `use_autoreconf yes` might be an option.
