It sounds like igraph does not like to be compiled with llvm-gcc-4.2 or clang. I get the same error on Snow Leopard with Xcode 3.2.6 if I do:

sudo port install igraph configure.compiler=llvm-gcc-4.2

or

sudo port install igraph configure.compiler=clang

It compiles fine for me with gcc-4.2.

This is the kind of thing you should usually file a bug report in our issue tracker for.

Ordinarily I would suggest you do this, except in this case it looks like somebody has already done so:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/igraph-help/2011-08/msg00031.html

You can probably work around the problem with:

sudo port install igraph configure.compiler=gcc-4.2

Or, if you are using Xcode 4.2+, which does not include gcc anymore, do:

sudo port install apple-gcc42
sudo port install igraph configure.compiler=apple-gcc-4.2 configure.cxx=/opt/local/bin/gcc-apple-4.2

This is the workaround suggested in the above thread.

Also there is a patch:
