This is not related to MacPorts - I assume you use the pre-built binary
package Inkscape 0.46-2 from sf.net? This version doesn't run on Snow
Leopard due to incompatible library versions, the issue has been fixed
for 0.47.

Please try the latest prerelease package 'Inkscape 0.47pre3-2 Leopard+'
from <http://sourceforge.net/projects/inkscape/files/inkscape/0.47pre3/>

This is bug #392693 in Inkscape: “Conflict between bundled and system
libxml dylib”: <https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/392693>
