_LT_DECL is an internal libtool macro that was introduced in
libtool-2.2.x. The fact that it appears verbatim in configure means that
m4 did not find a definition for it when it created configure, because,
I assume, aclocal did not find the libtool-2.x macros in its search path.

Please try rebuilding the problematic ports with the libtool port
installed. If the build succeeds, then file tickets on those ports for
the missing build dependency.
