Where did you get your /opt/local/include/zconf.h from, if not ports? 

Either remove the offending files, run 
       port clean zlib && port install zlib

, or you can forcibly activate it with 
    port -f activate zlib
and resume, see what that does.

I just grabbed and built the latest MacPorts (on a PPC box) over this past
weekend and had no such problem. So finally...

 | zsh, pizza 11:08AM ~/ # port install q
 | --->  Fetching q
 | --->  Attempting to fetch q-7.10.tar.gz from
 | http://downloads.sourceforge.net/q-lang
 | --->  Verifying checksum(s) for q
 | --->  Extracting q
 | --->  Configuring q
 | --->  Building q with target all
 | --->  Staging q into destroot
 | --->  Installing q 7.10_0
 | --->  Activating q 7.10_0
 | --->  Cleaning q
 | zsh, pizza 11:16AM ~/ # 

It works! 

Needs more variants adding for things like ODBC, I think...
