Comment (by ballapete):

 I think the case is clear: `rm` behaves differently. Using it
 interactively it succeeds to delete recursively the deep directory
 hierarchy, running it from/in  MacPorts it fails. One way to cure this
 failure is to limit the depth of the directory hierarchy to 57. The small
 test programme `configure` builds and runs to create the directory
 hierarchy is probably OK, what it tries seems to be sensible.

 With more knowledge of MacPorts you might be able to find the cause why
 `rm` behaves so differently… (and why only on Leopard)
