That would only make sense. It follows the version numbering Apple has used since Mac OS X 10.1.1.

Mac OS X 10.2.# = Darwin 6.#
Mac OS X 10.3.# = Darwin 7.#
Mac OS X 10.4.# = Darwin 8.#
Mac OS X 10.5.# = Darwin 9.#
Mac OS X 10.6.# = Darwin 10.#
Mac OS X 10.7.# = Darwin 11.#

I would assume that the user's difficulty building the software has nothing to do with the kernel version, so I would not recommend attempting to detect and act upon the kernel version in the portfile. More likely causes would be the new CPU in their computer, or the version of Xcode (maybe they have Xcode 4? I've only tried Xcode 3.2.x), or something totally unrelated.
