It installs the GNU libtool.

Yes this is correct. This is Apple's one.

It is installed, however it is installed as glibtool.

I have it installed, and to find the version:

m1:$ port installed | grep libtool
  libtool @1.5.22_0 (active)

m1:$ /opt/local/bin/glibtool --version
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.22 (1.1220.2.365 2005/12/18 22:14:06)

Sorry I can't help with your error. What are you trying to make?
