A lot of us have been using MacPorts on Lion for awhile (developer previews, Apple engineers with direct access, etc) and I haven't personally had any "it's all broken!" experiences, so if there is a specific port that's broken, please file a trac ticket.   I don't know what trac ticket you're referring to, but it may have been simply closed because nobody wanted to violate an NDA by committing lion-specific fixes.  That will remain the case until Lion actually ships to customers, so just hang tight and file tickets would be my recommendation.  I doubt that any tickets will be closed as "too lion specific" at this point,
