Comment(by dbsgeo@…):

 Yes, I'm sure they will, so feel free to close as invalid.

 And, to be honest I'm doing something else which may be compounding the
 issue.

 I'm experimenting with compiling and linking cairo and cairo deps against
 the system (snow leopard) provided zlib and libiconv. In this case the
 goal is to package the cairo dylibs into a relocatable Framework for
 distribution/packagmaker install. Previously I was happily packaging up
 zlib and libiconv and all the other cairo/cairomm dependencies, but after
 a review by other more experienced packagers it was recommended to not
 bundle zlib and libiconv from macports since the system provides universal
 libs already without XCode, so I've been (up to cairo at least)
 successfully installing the universal variant of zlib and libiconv and
 then overwriting all of the libs with a symlink to the system lib. Stuff
 like libpng and freetype have been building fine and linking to the system
 libs.

 I'm certainly open to suggestions for smarter ways to do this, and I don't
 want to cause any undu burden by creating tickets due to my odd setup. How
 do others distribute macports built libs while compiling and linking to
 system libs where appropriate? In this case install_name_tool won't work
 because the major lib compatibility version of libiconv is different.
