See the list of prerequisites at <https://www.macports.org/install.php#other>. Look up which package provides mtree on your distro and install it. The executable is sometimes called 'fmtree' on Linux, so you may need to set MTREE=fmtree (or whatever it's actually called) when running configure. - Josh
