The lines before the error should give some clues. The config.log it
mentions can be found in $PORT_TMPDIR/dev-lang/php-5.1.6/work in this
instance, that should give a more detailed error message.

This isn't necessarily a single problem for all the affected packages; the
configure script carries out a large number of tests, any one of which
could have failed.
