Comment(by blb@…):

 Compiling on 10.5 for 10.4 never really worked properly due to ports with
 platform variants (like 'darwin 9') since those always apply, but if you
 are trying to target 10.4, that would cause issues.  Hence the other bits
 which were trying to allow you to target an earlier version of the OS were
 removed since they didn't work as they should.

 Building on 10.4 for 10.4+ should usually work; until MacPorts has some
 method for specifying things to be done when targeting a specific OS
 version (instead of how it works now, where it only targets the platform
 on which it is currently building), setting the SDK in MacPorts doesn't
 make sense.
