It could probably be documented better, but the deal has always been
that you need to reinstall MacPorts and all your ports when you change
to a different major OS version (or architecture).

For 10.6, you need MacPorts 1.8, which we're aiming to release on the
same day.

Finally, apart from the fact that you should always state your system
configuration when filing tickets, it doesn't matter that it's a new OS
version. If something is broken and there isn't an existing ticket, open
one.
