Mac OS X 10.6.0 Snow Leopard and MacPorts 1.8.0 were just released  
yesterday, and many of us are seeing these versions now for the first  
time. It's inevitable that a small percentage of our over 6000 ports  
will have problems with one or the other and will need to be tweaked.  
Please bear with us over the coming weeks as we work to resolve these  
issues. Please file tickets for problems you see (if that has not been  
done already) and if you know how to fix them please let us know.

In this case, however, I did not have any problem building ffmpeg in a  
clean MacPorts 1.8.0 install on Snow Leopard. Did you upgrade from  
Leopard to Snow Leopard and are now trying to upgrade your ports or  
install new ones? If so, you should be aware that you really must  
install all new ports on Snow Leopard; you cannot use the ports you  
installed with Leopard. See:
