It may not be that simple.  There are two JPEG libraries involved.  The 
one in 
System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/Resources/libJPEG.dylib 
defines __cg_jpeg_resync_to_restart and the one in 
/opt/local/lib/libjpeg.62.0.0.dylib doesn't.  Gnucash is linked against 
the latter, but ImageIO needs the former.  I don't know if Gnucash will 
work with the former or not.

The real question to me is why the MacPorts build of Gnucash needs 
ImageIO.  I built it by hand (using MacPorts for all the dependencies) 
and my copy doesn't need it.  It links against the MacPorts JPEG 
library and runs fine.

It's possible that Gnucash will work with ImageIO if you remove the 
MacPorts version of libjpeg and let it build with the system library. 
You may have similar problems with the TIFF library.
