Does dscl exist and work on 10.3 and earlier too?
I'm not certain (I think so, given 2 below), but there are two
points I would make here.
1. Officially we support the current and previous release of Mac OS
X, so 10.3 isn't really a target anymore (and having the automatic
path setup not work on 10.3 isn't enough to block usage there -
people can still set up $PATH manually like they had to with older
releases).
2. MacPorts base already uses dscl (see portutil.tcl)
Chris tested on 10.3 and it works:

If we can support 10.3 without too much additional effort, we should.
In this case, we can use dscl on 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5 so no additional
effort is required.
