I Googled the error message and got this:

It suggests that although you have libpng 1.4.11 installed, perhaps some of the other ports you have installed that need libpng have not been rebuilt and are still linking with the old libpng 1.2.x. Does that seem possible? We upgraded to libpng 1.4.x a long time ago in MacPorts so you really shouldn't have anything left using libpng 1.2.x.

We have a script floating around somewhere to help you find things still linked with old libpng. Actually, these days rev-upgrade should find and rebuild them automatically. What happens if you run:

sudo port rev-upgrade
