As stated in http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/10905 ,
this problem may arise if you have installed xiph's quicktime elements.
To forbid gcc to use this framework, you can add the line 

configure.env   CFLAGS=-I${prefix}/include LDFLAGS=-L${prefix}/lib 

to the portfile (using port edit libsndfile). Then port clean and port
instal again.

Hope this helps

Emmanuel

PS: or you can add --disable-flac to the configure.args line.
