Ok, Mark, so it was a PATH issue indeed. GNU libtool appeared first in
PATH due to the installation of MAMP. I am pasting this user's
response below.

I have no opinion on whether zlib's build should work with GNU libtool
on OS X, or not. Although this turns out not to be a MacPorts issue, I
can only say that can see the fundamental difference between the
approaches taken by MacPorts vs. Homebrew.

Sincerely,
Cosmin

ah, this makes sense. I have MAMP installed and it's listed earlier in my
PATH var, so it's using /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/libtool instead of
/usr/bin/libtool

$ which libtool
/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/libtool

$ which -a libtool
/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/libtool
/usr/bin/libtool

looks to be a PATH precedence issue on my machine! thanks for looking into
this!
