Ok, so the failing port is t1lib, not xpdf.

port is not unhappy; glibtool is.

That's like these bugs:

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/14308

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/13653

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/13648

Are your ports up to date? Do:

sudo port selfupdate
port outdated

Any ports show up as outdated? If so, upgrade them.

sudo port upgrade foo

In particular, this problem showed up a lot when libtool was built  
*before* MacPorts started using /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 as CC (instead of  
just "gcc" or "cc"), and you attempted to build certain ports *after*  
updating MacPorts. However, this change was a long time ago so I'm  
surprised you're still running into it. Try the above and let us know  
what happens. If rebuilding libtool doesn't fix it, the problem may  
be specific to t1lib.

However, t1lib builds fine for me (on Intel, 10.4.11, Xcode 2.5,  
MacPorts 1.6.0 or from trunk). So if you still have the issue, please  
tell us what versions of Mac OS X, Xcode and MacPorts you have and on  
what kind of Mac.
