Why don't you have /usr/share/libtool/config.guess on your system? It should be there.
We had one report of this before, for a different port I think (there are many that employ the technique of copying that file) but I don't think we ever found out why the user was missing that file.
Here we go. The problem was reported for libnet:
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/13334
And for cdrtools on the mailing list. In this message of that thread, I listed all the ports that employ this technique:
http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2007-November/ 007087.html
However, I still don't understand why the technique doesn't work, or rather, why that file is missing on some users' systems. Any insight would be appreciated.
