You have a MacPorts installation that was made during 10.4 then you  
upgraded your system to 10.5, and this configuration is not  
supported.  Safest is just to move /opt/local aside (so you can keep  
config stuff around) then do a new install of MacPorts.  Also, make  
sure your Xcode install is updated for 10.5.
