You did not indicate your version of Mac OS X, Xcode and MacPorts,  
but if you're running Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, then I think you've  
found this bug:

https://svn.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/13039#preview

I've added your email address to the bug's Cc list so that you'll be  
informed of its progress.
