That gets my agreement as well.  I remember getting Darwinports (as  
it then was) working on Jaguar by installing Tcl/TkAqua [1] on the  
iBook that I then had -- that took care of the Tcl 8.4.x features  
that Darwinports itself required, as Jaguar shipped with Tcl 8.3.x  
[2].  As long as we continue to provide the other shims like cups- 
headers and dlcompat, I don't think that there should be much  
impediment to MacPorts continuing to work on Jaguar, albeit  
unofficially.

Kind regards,
