The reasons for not having a 10.5 Intel builder are that no users should need it (all users on 10.5 Intel should upgrade to 10.6) and the packages it would create would take up disk space on all mirrors; we have already had one MacPorts mirror leave because they could no longer accommodate our disk space requirements.
