You need to give "port provides" the full path of the file in question.

$ port provides /opt/local/lib/libGL.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libGL.dylib is provided by: mesa

mesa was recently updated to a new version. Check "port installed  
mesa" to see if you still have the old version around. If so,  
deactivate the new version and activate the old one.
