That page contains lots of useless and unneeded stuff.

And actually using macports or fink or darwinports make it more
difficult to compile.
You're example is once again prove of this:

It's pointless to install libxml, wen libxml is already provided by
Mac OS X/Xcode itself. this is calling for trouble/incompatibilities.

The additional stuff pulled in by macports when trying to install the
listed dependencies (that again were wrong, you don't need libgmp,
coreutils, automake, m4. XCode already comes with everything that is
needed. Just use --disable-mozilla and you don't need anything in
addition.)

Easiest is to remove/hide the pkg-config utitily, so that configure
doesn't even have a chance of detecing those "alien" libraries.

I'll rewrite the wiki page to only list the actual dependencies
instead of all that useless stuf... Sorry for the inconvenience
