Just to update you on the status. I contacted the mp3splt author at 
sourceforge.net and he was able to walk me through the install. After 
updating the libmad port I had to use

export CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -I/opt/local/include"
export LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -L/opt/local/lib"

before configuring libmp3splt. The latest build of mp3splt (subversion) 
fixes the cddb function. This doesn't work in the version that the 
mp3splt port installs. If someone would guide me, I could create an 
alternate (i.e. subversion) port install.
