As has been somewhat extensively discussed on IRC, it appears to be  
the second call to configure in the rather convoluted "run-autotools"  
overridden target not being correctly passed the '--with-apr=<X>'  
configure flag, or the '<X>' value being mangled, or otherwise broken.

The libtool related changes to this port are two-fold:
   * adding two files to pkg-plist
   * updating the PORTREVISION appropriately

That's it.  libtool hasn't actually gotten around to be being used at  
this point (libtool-related configure step failures are *very*  
obvious in nature :).

It's also worth noting that pointyhat builds the package just fine:
