I found some bugs in the vtk-devel Portfile that hindered me from installing on Tiger. See:

I've done a bit of work on vtk-devel to make some things in the installation version specific. I have not tested whether vtk-devel can co-exist with vtk5.

All the work on vtk-devel was based on the default variants (cocoa shared wrap) plus testing and examples. Nothing has been tested extensively, and very little has been done with x11.

If you have time to run the build and install, I suggest the huge variant, or no variants at all will give you a default set of variants.

vtk-devel has the variants:
    darwin_9: Platform variant, do not select manually
huge: provide cocoa data doc examples shared testing wrap database mpi boost
    data: provide example data in: /opt/local/share/vtk-5.4/data
    doc: provide doxygen documentation in: /opt/local/share/vtk-5.4/doc
    examples: provide VTK examples in: /opt/local/share/vtk-5.4/examples
    shared: build shared libraries (default)
    testing: provide VTK tests in: /opt/local/share/vtk-5.4/testing
    carbon: build with Carbon
    cocoa: build with Cocoa (default)
    x11: build with X11
    wrap: provide java, py26, & tcl
    java: java wrapper
    py25: python 2.5 wrapper
    py26: python 2.6 wrapper
    tcl: tcl wrapper (MacPorts tcl/tk)
    tcl_apple: tcl wrapper (apple tcl/tk framework)
    database: provide all database variants
    mysql5: build the MySQL driver for vtkSQLDatabase
    pgsql83: build the PostgreSQL 8.3 driver for vtkSQLDatabase
    odbc: build the ODBC database interface
    mpi: use message passing interface (mpich2) for parallel support
    boost: use Boost libraries - www.boost.org <http://www.boost.org>
    universal: Build for multiple architectures

Darren

    I reinstalled vtk5 with the +x11 variant, and now the vtk rendering
    library is linked to

    /opt/local/lib/libGL.1.dylib

    However, I still have the same problem of textActors not exporting.
    Labels on axes export fine, though.  I suppose this could be
    reported upstream to VTK.  Maybe I'll try vtk-devel (vtk-5.4) when I
    have some more time and see if the problem persists.

        Interesting.  We were just talking about some vtk oddities in
        the x11-users and xquartz-dev mailing list.

        Check out:

        Since you're seeing this purely in carbon, my guess now is that
        this is an issue with either OpenGL.framework (which would mean
        it's in both Tiger and Leopard... which I think isn't too
        likely) or with VTK itself.

            I'm experiencing a problem using the GL2PS export feature of
            VTK, where VTK was installed via Macports (vtk5
            @5.2.1_2+carbon+darwin_8+python). When I have a textActor in
            my render window, e.g. some arbitrary title or note, then
            that text does not show in the exported pdf/eps.

            I suspect the problem might be related to the OpenGL library
            that VTK links to, in this case
            /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/OpenGL
            since I am using the Carbon variant.  Can someone verify
            that they see this problem also?  Any knowledge about how to
            resolve this?  I am currently on Tiger.

            Thanks,
