No, your configure output indicates icc and ifort are found and seem to
work fine.

The config1.log looks fine and the config1_out.rtf shows that the configure
script completed creating Makefiles and only failed at the end:
 ...
 config.status: creating config.h\
 config.status: config.h is unchanged\
 config.status: creating nfconfig.inc\
 config.status: executing depfiles commands\
 config.status: executing libtool commands\
 ./configure: line 21772: printf: write error: Broken pipe\
 ./configure: line 30110: printf: write error: Broken pipe\

I suspect this is because you have a private "sort" command in your
PATH, in /Users/pmv/bin/Scale6.0/cmds/sort, that the configure script
is making use of as if it were the standard Unix sort command, which
can be used in a pipe.  Can you either rename your sort command or
take its directory out of your PATH temporarily while you run the
configure script?  The config1.log shows that directory is in your 
PATH.  Your config2.log shows the same problem.

That ought to at least get you to the point where you can run 
"make check" ...
