Actually, that is questionable. XCode 4 [the one that comes with Lion]
no longer includes SDKs or other support for 10.5 or indeed anything that might
be able to run on a PowerPC. There are how-tos on the web to pull that
material out of XCode 3 and install it on Lion, but it won't natively be able
to target those earlier versions. Unless MacPorts has their own headers, i
don't see how they can work around this problem. I am also involved with Fink,
and we are wrestling with this issue as well. This won't affect
self-compilation, only cross-compilation. Therefore, MacPorts and Fink users
who use their respective system to locally build a binary won't notice a
problem.
Anyway, i do have both 10.5 and 10.6 systems i can try this on in a few
days...
