Are you trying to write a Portfile for it or do you only want to compile
it against stuff in MacPorts?

If you're trying to write a Portfile, there already are several ports
that build software without a configure script. You might find some
examples by grepping for "use_configure no".

If you're only trying to build it, appending
CFLAGS="-I/opt/local/include" LDFLAGS="-L/opt/local/lib" is usually
enough to build it against MacPorts.

You can install the xorg-libXt port to get this.
