You may install an older version of Macport's screen which seems to solve this issue, as stated in comments of this article:

I've tried myself and screen works very fine now with pbcopy ! :-)

Check that step:

1. Install Macport using its DMG file. Leopard's DMG

2. Launch a new Terminal and
   $ sudo vi /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf
   finally those 2 lines only remains in sources.conf, no more:

   file:///Users/xxxxx/ports
   rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/ports/ [default]

3. $ cd
$ mkdir -p ports/sysutils/ (do not create a "screen" directory, svn will)

4. $ cd ports/sysutils/
$ svn co -r 45745 http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/sysutils/screen

5. Once check out:

   $ cd $HOME/ports
   $ portindex
   Creating software index in /Users/keugaerg/ports Adding port sysutils/screen

   Total number of ports parsed:   1 
   Ports successfully parsed:  1    
   Ports failed:           0
   

6. $ sudo port install screen (may take a while as downloading screen and buidling it)

Then it's done, just have to launch /opt/local/bin/screen .
