Dan, The problems for me are a) 10.4 support - I don't even have access to 10.5 these days. I'm sure a lot of maintainers are in the same boat. b) PowerPC support - same deal c) Bringing Xfce up to date. Alias / weak alias support in the kernel - libxfce4ui v4.8 requires them, and through at least OS X 10.6.8 they are not supported.
I have most of the rest of the packages running at the latest Xfce version. I would be happy to provide my .info files if anyone would like to try their hand at a workaround or rewrite the portions with aliases. I've got enough on my plate these days to quite happily hand them over. I suspect the MacPorts maintainer is facing the same problem but I haven't looked into it recently.
