If the problem is that libtool thinks the compiler is "gcc",
and macports is passing "/usr/bin/gcc-4.0" instead - then
it can be worked around by adding similar such parameters:
sudo port build apache2 configure.cc=gcc configure.cxx=g++

Or you can try rebuilding libtool, as suggested elsewhere.

Sorry to hear that. I think the change was made for 1.5.1.
