Apparently there's a problem upgrading libidl to 0.8.9_0 if some previous version is installed? I'm unable to reproduce the problem upgrading from 0.8.8_0. So I would suggest employing this workaround: 

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port -f uninstall libidl
sudo port install libidl

Done.

This gives me the same error

OK, I found the problem. I had an old libidl1 installed. This contains a IDL.h which is erroneously included by the libidl compilation. Uninstalling libidl1 solved it.
