I might be wrong about that.  But this shows another issue:

Looks like what you lack is a symlink libintl.dylib -> libintl.3.4.3.dylib
in /usr/local/lib.  It's not real clear to me why you'd have .a and .la
files and no versionless symlink, because all of those files would
just be used for linking dependent software.

These files absolutely, positively, gold-plated 100% did not come
with XCode.  Homebrew installs stuff under /usr/local though.
Not sure about MacPorts.
