Have you set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH somewhere? If so, unset it. I'm guessing the libGL.dylib that contains the _gll_noop symbol is in /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries, but for some reason your programs are finding the one in /opt/local/lib instead, which is newer and doesn't have that symbol anymore. Setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH often causes problems like this and is therefore not recommended.
