You do not want to replace /usr/bin/libtool

/usr/bin/libtool comes from Apple (and existed before GNU libtool).  
 From its manpage:

"The libtool command takes the specified input object files and  
creates a library for use with the link editor, ld(1)."

In order to avoid confusion, Macports installs GNU libtool as  
'glibtool'. From it's manpage:

"glibtool is a script that allows package developers to provide  
generic shared library support."

You need to convince the software that you are trying to build to use  
glibtool instead of 'libtool'

You might be able to cd to the source directory and run 'glibtoolize'  
to fix things.
