If it's in /usr/local, remove it, and anything else you may have in /usr/local; having things in /usr/local is a great way to cause problems for MacPorts. If it's in /opt/local, use "port provides" to find out what port provided it; if it's not provided by a port, remove it; if it is, let us know what port so we can investigate.

dlfcn.h ought to exist in /usr/include/dlfcn.h. Does it? If not, your OS is incomplete and this file and any others that are missing will have to be restored from your backups or reinstalled from your Mac OS X DVD. If it does exist, then I'm not sure why it can't be found; we may need to see the complete main.log file to be able to diagnose this further.
