This is a bug in Apple's X11 implementation. They're moving to xorg's  
X11, but they screwed up for machines that have never had 10.5 earlier  
than 10.5.2.

One of fink's x11 experts says that the command:

sudo perl -pi.bak -e 's|2.0.0|2.1.0|' /usr/X11/lib/libXrandr.la

from a terminal window should fix it. (Only have to do this once,  
unless Apple breaks it again with 10.5.3.)

Also, it looks to me like Macports has fixed the guile/slib issues  
with their gnucash portfile. So, since you already have the macports  
infrastructure in place, I'd recommend you try the X11 patch, and then  
reissue the macports install command for gnucash.

If you do choose to try fink's gnucash package, it's package name is  
gnucash2. But one still launches it with just 'gnucash' in a terminal  
window.

Fink's gnucash2-docs package (the help files) does not work at the  
moment because of a gnome version mismatch problem with yelp (gnome's  
help system).
