I believe a libtool update is in progress.  There are
several unofficial libtool patch sets available too,
including my own:
  http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~flemej/freebsd/libtool-upgrade/
I would suggest you wait for the "official" update to
finish your port.  If you are in a hurry, use an unofficial
update, and hope the official one is similar enough to work
with your php-gtk port.
