Tthis is a version of the Leopard environment variable bug. On  
Leopard, Tcl does not properly clear environment variables when  
MacPorts tells it to. This manifests itself in countless different  
ways, including the problem you observed. This particular  
manifestation of the problem is this ticket:

http://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto

The workaround for the Leopard environment variable bug is always to  
clean the work area of the affected port and try again.

sudo port clean --work sqlite3
sudo port install sqlite3

The fix which will cause such workarounds to no longer be required  
has been committed to MacPorts base in trunk, but a new release of  
MacPorts containing this fix has not yet been made. MacPorts 1.7.0  
will include the fix.
