I can understand why there would be a separate package for Leopard (ppc), but SL+ are all i386+x86_64, and I don't think there's anything that is OS version dependent in base

We've always had separate MacPorts installers for each supported version of OS X. Sometimes that's because different OS versions have different versions of the libraries we use. Please do not install a MacPorts release designed for one OS version on another OS version. In fact the pre-install check should prevent you from doing so.
