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.
$ libtool -V Apple Computer, Inc. version cctools-622.8 $ port search libtool libtool devel/libtool 1.5.24 GNU Libtool - The GNU Portable Library Tool $
The only libtool here http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/ Current/ is the GNU one. Should I install the GNU version?
Nothing in MacPorts will install anything into /usr/share, so installing a port through MacPorts won't fix this problem. /usr/share/ libtool/config.guess is a file that, as far as I have been able to determine, is provided by Apple and should be on every Mac (or at least every Mac with Xcode, I'm not sure) and I don't know why it's not there on your system.
