It's a bit difficult to read with your broken MIME encoding there. But I can see that the configure line ends with --without-pgsql. However, the current version of the apr-util port has an additional option after --without-pgsql (namely --with-sqlite3=/opt/local). That change was made to the portfile February 26, 2007, in revision 22339. The fact that you don't see parameter this in your configure line means your ports tree is over a month out of date.

I selfupdated the ports but the same error shows up ufter a wile. I'm running mac os X.4.9.

I don't understand why your ports are out of date if you have run port selfupdate, since that includes a sync which would update the ports tree. Please try running "sudo port sync" manually and see if it updates your ports. And then try building apr-util again. The --with-apr parameter is correct; as you can see, it does point to an apr-config file. You should already have the apr port installed. (It should install it for you if you don't.) Do you now have apr installed?

Somebody in a forum asked me wether I have the actual version of x- code running. I just know that I have installed the package and that my system is up to date!

Yes, it would be a good idea to confirm that you have the current version of Xcode. Go to /Developer/Applications in the Finder and get info on Xcode.app. The current version is 2.4.1. If you have anything older, get 2.4.1 from the Apple developer web site.
