Comment (by jmsoeiro):

 While installing gd2 (trying octave -> gnuplot) I get the same message.

 ports are up to date, as are Xcode command line utils. I uninstalled
 previous versions and did a clean install with

 {{{
  sudo port install gd2

 }}}

 Some excerpts from config.log:

 The error seems to be where @tenomoto suggests.

 {{{

 It was created by GD configure 2.2.5, which was
 generated by GNU Autoconf 2.69.  Invocation command line was

   $ ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --disable-werror --with-
