I just tried "port install texlive_base" on an iMac with Leopard, and
the compile
didn't run into any problem, so there is something very strange wrong with your
build

$ pwd
/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_tex_texlive_base/work/texlive_base-2007/texk/xdvik
$ grep x_ldflags Makefile
x_ldflags= -L/usr/X11/lib
x_link = $(LDLIBT1) $(x_ldflags) $(x_tool_libs) $(x_xmu_lib) -lXt
$(x_pre_libs) $(x_ext_lib) $(x_xpm_libs) -lX11 $(x_extra_libs)
