It's meant to just be a configuration file that we can update with Xcode/OS updates so that we won't have to change the internal code. I got all the version information from here, (https://trac.macports.org/wiki/XcodeVersionInfo).

XcodeVersionInfo isn't exhaustive either. It would be nice if we list info about every available Xcode version there, but we haven't yet. I did at least add the Xcode 4.0.x and 4.1.x version info for Snow Leopard last month. You may want to check the WikiPedia page linked from that page for a more complete version list.
