Our policy (from quite a while ago) is to support the current Mac OS  
X major release, and the one previous to it (so currently 10.4 and  
10.3).

I think it's better to make the policy clear to the end-user and let  
them try to make things work if they want to (and I don't think the  
project would be opposed to including patches to fix things on older  
'non-supported' releases, just like how we're happy to include fixes  
for other operating systems that aren't them main focus of macports).
