This worked for me on Mac Os X 10.4.11, MacPorts 1.600.
I include the initial response of port, which shows something, I'm
not sure
what.
When I originally tried to install apache2, port made no attempt to
install
libtool.
Isn't this surprising in view of the first line of the log below?
So it seems that apache2 does not list its dependencies correctly,
which
would explain
why everything is fine for some users but not for others. Or maybe the
problem is that there are different versions of libtool, as mentioned
previously in
this thread---I'm not sure if this makes sense.
Anyway, here is the initial output from Paul Beard's commands:
Error: port uninstall failed: Registry error: libtool not registered
as installed.

So based on the fact that you experienced the error without libtool
installed, and that Peter O'Gorman says it may be that apr was built
before MacPorts 1.6 was released, it sounds like maybe apr, and not
libtool, was the problem. I originally suggested that one or the
other of those ports was the problem but I have yet to hear anyone
definitively say which one it is. Simply force-upgrading both doesn't
help us isolate the problem. :)
I note that in your output above, you're uninstalling apr 1.2.11_0.
That's an old version anyway. The current version is 1.2.12_0. So you
should try uninstalling libtool, then upgrading apr, then see if it
works.
