i was facing this problem earlier today - i simply downloaded the

care about the ports registry you could compile directly; it
worked fine for me
Maybe a better way is
download source
uncompress to work dir
do ./configure and make
then do sudo port install libtiff
thus it'll be put into registry correctly.
I did this for some package (forgot its name) in this way since
mysteriously it can not be installed by "port install" directly.
I can't recommend that procedure. Ports should install correctly
using "port install". If they do not, please file bugs in Trac so
someone can resolve the problem.
