Weird. That is (most probably) the same known problem as I reported to
gnuplot devs a while ago, it's a bug in older autoconf tools - the
ones used to generate ./configure script for Gnuplot 4.6, but I
thought I addressed it as part of the patch-configure-qt.diff:
    http://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/math/gnuplot/files/patch-configure-qt.diff
or at least it works on Lion. I can only guess what is going on with 10.6.

May I please ask you for the output of "port -v configure gnuplot <any
variants>" to see what it reports for these two lines in particular:

checking for stdbool.h that conforms to C99... yes
checking for _Bool... yes

plus config.log file if you manage to find it inside "work" directory
(I'm only interested in the part around _Bool).

(It might make sense to open a ticket on trac. I cannot test on 10.6
at the moment, but I'll get access to it.)

Are you able to test if gnuplot *with* qt and *without* wxwidgets compiles?
