It looks like someone else reported this last month:

http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2006-October/ 
000301.html

But I don't see a reply to that message.

 From the list of symbols that it's having trouble with, it sounds  
like a readline problem? Perhaps you need to install the MacPorts  
readline port (sudo port install readline); perhaps it's having  
trouble with the system-provided readline.

On the other hand, perhaps you have a rogue version of readline  
installed someplace else, for example /usr/local. If so, you should  
move that readline out of the way, then do your MacPorts thing, then  
move it back, if you need it. But you may need to do that each time  
you want to compile MacPorts things. For this reason, it would be  
better not to have any readline in /usr/local.
