Sorry, you haven't understood me, i meant:

platform darwin 8 {
	pre-fetch {
		if { [variant_isset darwin_8] } {
			ui_error "==== ATTENTION!!!! ===="
			ui_error "Sockstat is not working under darwin 8 nor tiger. Please  
use"
			ui_error "lsof -i6/lsof -i4/lsof -U instead."
			ui_error "==== ATTENTION!!!! ===="
			ui_error "Please sudo port uninstall sockstat"
		}
	}
}
