I understand that the next release of MacPorts will check for a correct installation of (1)XCode, (2)it's Command Line Tools and (3)that it's license has been accepted, right? This will be _huge_ step forward--folks now expect instant gratification. Download an installer .dmg and BAM--done. Our 'extra steps', seem to trip up at least half our new users.
A specific problem with http://www.macports.org/install.php is that we give generic guidance for installing XCode and the Command Line Tools while the process is rather different for specific versions. Just as we have different .pkg installers for Mavericks, Mountain Lion and Lion, we should have specific corresponding instructions for the remaining steps (with screen shots).
