The command "-lavutil" means "please link with the library libavutil.dylib", so that seems correct enough.

I cannot reproduce this problem today on Tiger or Snow Leopard. My log says I did have this problem yesterday on Snow Leopard, but now I don't, and of course I didn't save the log from when it failed. :/ If you could file a ticket with the complete log showing the failure that should be helpful in figuring out what's happening differently for you. Be sure to "sudo port selfupdate" first because an unrelated fix was just committed to ffmpeg.
