I see this problem was reported 3 weeks ago but the maintainer hasn't  
commented on it yet.

http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/13610

I'll add you to the Cc list of that ticket so you're informed of its  
progress.

I see you're running Mac OS X 10.5. Looks like the reporter of that  
ticket was too. And do you have Xcode 3? What version of MacPorts do  
you have, and what architecture is your processor?

I note occurrences of /usr/local in your output above, and also in  
the filed ticket. What do you have in /usr/local? It can conflict  
with MacPorts ports, so we recommend not having anything in /usr/ 
local. Try renaming /usr/local to /usr/local-off and cleaning (sudo  
port clean --work ntop) and building (sudo port install ntop) ntop  
again. If it works, you'll know something in /usr/local conflicted,  
and you should install whatever you need using MacPorts instead of  
manually installing in /usr/local.
