Comment (by markd at macports.org):

 I'd favor rolling the "other platforms" information into a separate html
 page that is linked in both docs, since the readership is small it should
 not be obtrusive, and it also provides a single source.  The install
 section of the guide does need info on subversion installs.  It could
 easily be tucked into the "source installs" section.  I'll add something
 for that in the next few days. If we could agree on when we have an
 adequate guide install section, perhaps we could just transform the xml of
 the guide's install section into install.php, thereby also giving a single
 source.

 I think install.php has too much information subject to change (v2.4.1, v
 3.0, "Panther PPC", etc) that can be simplified ("latest Xcode _here_").
 But then I wrote the install section of the guide and so I'm not an
 unbiased observer.  I favor a minimalist approach, and some questions will
 always have to be answered by the mailing list anyway.
