Comment (by RobK88):

 I have the same problem trying to install pdftk on my old Mac running Lion
 (10.7.5) using Macports 2.6.4.

 When I edited the portfile by adding "configure.cxx_stdlib macports-
 libstdc++" as suggested above, pdftk was built and installed without any
 issues.

 Someone should update the portfile or delete this port altogether.  Most
 Linux distros (like Debian) seem to be using pdftk-java these days in lieu
 of pdftk.

 FYI -- There are subtle differences between pdftk and pdftk-java.  From
 the pdftk-java website:


 {{{
 The following differences with respect to the original version of
 pdftk are intended. Issue reports about other differences are welcome
 (when in doubt, open an issue).

 Does not ask for owner password if not needed.
 Does not report some structure-only form fields.
 Reports some missing values in multi-valued form fields.
 Does not escape form fields if UTF-8 output is selected.
 Report entries may be in a different order.
 Reports annotations other than links.
