Nothing in MacPorts will install anything into /usr/share, so  
installing a port through MacPorts won't fix this problem. /usr/share/ 
libtool/config.guess is a file that, as far as I have been able to  
determine, is provided by Apple and should be on every Mac (or at  
least every Mac with Xcode, I'm not sure) and I don't know why it's  
not there on your system.
