How are you starting rabbit?

Very strange. That looks like missing files / wrong permissions.

Does 
/opt/local/lib/rabbitmq/lib/rabbitmq_server-2.1.0/ebin/gen_server2.beam 
exists? What's the size of the file? Are its permissions the same as
/opt/local/lib/rabbitmq/lib/rabbitmq_server-2.1.0/ebin/rabbit.beam?

OR (and perhaps more likely), this could be an Erlang version issue. The 
current version of Erlang in macports is R14A, but the output from your 
rabbit startup indicates that it is running R13B04. Do you have an old 
version of Erlang installed somewhere?

Matthias.
