I agree, it does seem to be the same error. The only cause of this error that I know of is the errant dlfcn.h file in /usr/local/include.

Please clean help2man and try again:

sudo port clean help2man
sudo port install help2man build.jobs=1

When it fails again, send us the complete main.log file, compressing it first if it is large. I will compare it with the log from my machine and see if any relevant differences show up.

(Using "build.jobs=1" turns off parallel building, which MacPorts would otherwise do if you have multiple processors or cores. Disabling parallel building means everything will be built sequentially, and most importantly, in the same sequence on your machine as on mine, making it easier to compare our logs to one another later.)
