What is the result of 

otool -L /opt/local/lib/libpng.dylib

On my system, it shows that this library has the compatibility version 45.0.0 which is exactly what your pdftotext seems to be looking for. If you have some older version of libpng, upgrade libpng to the current version.

If that's not it, is there perhaps a libpng.dylib somewhere else on your system, perhaps in /usr/local/lib or /sw/lib (which might be interfering with the one provided by MacPorts in /opt/local/lib)?

Do you perhaps have the LIBRARY_PATH, DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH or DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables set (which would be a good explanation for this problem)?
