There appear to be several problem reports filed about this.  I don't  
know whether the maintainer is responding at all.  (Though I am  
cc'ing this to the port maintainer, damon at freebsd.org)

I have found that I can get rrdtool to build if I disable ruby and  
python support.  Use

   make config

to disable those (maybe just one at a time to see what works).

Of course this work around doesn't work if you need python or ruby  
support.
