Sounds like your /opt/local/lib/libtiff.3.dylib is not of the same architecture as libpoppler.19.dylib, therefore it tries to find other copies of libtiff.3.dylib on your system and finds /usr/lib/libtiff.3.dylib which is of the right architecture, but is too old. Let's confirm that by looking at the architectures of the two libraries. Run:

lipo -info /opt/local/lib/libtiff.3.dylib /opt/local/lib/libpoppler.19.dylib

I suspect you either upgraded this machine to Lion from Leopard or earlier, or used Migration Assistant to migrate to this Lion machine from a Mac with 32-bit ports, and did not reinstall your ports since then; you probably need to follow the migration steps:
