 On Tiger (10.4.11), x11/fox fails during build:

 {{{
 $ sudo port install fox
 --->  Fetching fox
 --->  Verifying checksum(s) for fox
 --->  Extracting fox
 --->  Configuring fox
 --->  Building fox
 Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command " cd
 "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_x11_fox/work/fox-1.6.34"
 && make all " returned error 2
 Command output: FXFont.cpp:509: error: 'FC_WIDTH_SEMICONDENSED' was not
 declared in this scope
 FXFont.cpp:510: error: 'FC_WIDTH_NORMAL' was not declared in this scope
 ...
 (more errors with FXFont.cpp)
 }}}

 But if I first install the Macports Xft2, then fox builds and works fine.
 I recommend that the fox dependency "lib:libXft.2:Xft2" be changed to
 "port:Xft2" at least for Tiger (darwin 8).

Comment:

 Don't forget WikiFormatting.

 The dependency was deliberately changed from port:Xft2 to
 lib:libXft.2:Xft2 by Jeremy in r43662. He will have to comment on this
 issue.
