How do I install an older version of a port?
I want to have ocaml version 3.08, see below why.

ocaml has built fine, but coq has not: with the release of
ocaml3.10,
lots of things have changed, particularly in camlp4 (which is the
culprit here) and most complex dependents of ocaml don't build
anymore.
That is why cautious distributions (debian, pkgsrc..., opposed
to gentoo
for example) have not upgraded ocaml yet.
See this previous post:

Sorry, I'm a newbie and I don't know how to look up
"macports changeset ocaml 3.09 corresponds to"
at the url given in this post.
I also found another related post:
http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2007-April/
002745.html
but again I don't know what to do to
"find the source of the old portfile"
in the repository browser.
The repo browser is here:
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/browser/
Get to the dports [1] part of the repository; this is the ports tree:
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/browser/trunk/dports
Using "port info ocaml" or "port dir ocaml" or "port file ocaml",
discover that ocaml is in the "lang" category, and that the portfile
is therefore available here:
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/browser/trunk/dports/
lang/ocaml/Portfile
Click "Revision Log" in the upper right to see all the changes that
have ever been made to that file:
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/log/trunk/dports/lang/
ocaml/Portfile
You can see that the revision that upgraded the port to 3.10.0 was
25800, so if you want 3.09.x, grab the revision before that by
clicking "@23986":
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/browser/trunk/dports/
lang/ocaml/Portfile?rev=23986
Click "Original Format" at the bottom of the page to get the raw
Portfile code in a format that you can download to disk.
[1] "dports" stands for "DarwinPorts", the old name of the MacPorts
project. This may eventually get renamed "mports" or just "ports".
