This worked for me on Mac Os X 10.4.11, MacPorts 1.600.
I include the initial response of port, which shows something, I'm not sure
what.
When I originally tried to install apache2, port made no attempt to install
libtool.
Isn't this surprising in view of the first line of the log below?
So it seems that apache2 does not list its dependencies correctly, which
would explain
why everything is fine for some users but not for others. Or maybe the
problem is that there are different versions of libtool, as mentioned
previously in
this thread---I'm not sure if this makes sense.
Anyway, here is the initial output from Paul Beard's commands:

Error: port uninstall failed: Registry error: libtool not registered
as installed.
