[snip]

The intltool port declares a dependency on the p5-xml-parser port,  
which is probably the perl module being referred to here. That  
dependency has been in the intltool port since r6211 on 2004-04-05.  
If you do not have p5-xml-parser installed, I do not know how that's  
possible, but install it. If you do have it installed, maybe it's  
messed up somehow; reinstall it. (sudo port -ncuf upgrade p5-xml-parser)
