Sorry, I should have read the rest of the thread before replying.

It seems to be at least finding libltdl (the LibTool Dynamic Loader)  
in /usr/local/lib. Apple does not provide anything in /usr/local so  
you must've put that there somehow. MacPorts base and some of the  
ports will get easily confused by things in /usr/local. We do not yet  
know how to prevent MacPorts from finding (and getting confused by)  
things there, so I recommend you put nothing there at all. To confirm  
that this is the issue, rename /usr/local to /usr/local-off and try  
again. Once you get MacPorts up and running, consider installing all  
software you need using MacPorts instead of manually installing  
anything in /usr/local.
