Hi, shouldn't these sorts of messages be in pre-fetch? Placing them  
in the platform statement will still cause non-installing statements  
(e.g. `port info GiNaC`, `port echo maintainer:gwright at macports.org`)  
to fail on Panther.

As an example, take a look at fusefs [1]. In this portfile, the  
platform check is deferred until pre-fetch, thereby ensuring that  
users will only get complaints if they're actually trying to install  
the port.
