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

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.

Can you give me a specific technical reason (bug report, specific API issue, library version issue, etc) that the Lion package won't work on ML?  I really don't think there should be any problem (other than perhaps checks in the pkg itself). I think that the SL one should also work on Lion and ML.
