I think it's unrealistic to expect a build-from-source system like macports to keep supporting machines that old, particularly when (as we've already discussed) there are other binary-package avenues available (like http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/downloads/list) for folks who, for whatever reason, are still clinging to vintage hardware of that nature.

People who dropped $30k on XServe XRaid and Oracle when it was promoted?

There is the age old "Apple ROI".
