Comment (by jeremy at hinegardner.org):

 I have tried both of the mechanisms posted here.  My results from the
 patch are the same as rzilibowitz.

 The 2nd option, the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET I attempted as pasting this
 into the Portfile:


 {{{
 platform darwin 9 {

     # In DP 1.6...
     # macosx_deployment_target 10.4

     # For now, specify manually to build with Tiger-style:
     configure.env-append MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4
     build.env-append MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4
     destroot.env-append MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4

 }

 }}}

 This resulted in :

 It doesn't look like that works either.  I really don't know much about
 ports, but I use darcs a considerable amount and need to get ghc built so
 that I can build darcs.

 In the meantime, can I fake out ports with a installation from a 10.4
 machine ?  And how would I go about doing that ?
