 > Sigh... I wonder if Tiger can be installed on VMWare...

 [http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/resources/system_requirements.html
 Leopard is the earliest version] of Mac OS X you can install in VMware
 Fusion.

 j/k ... kinda...

 If that's the solution you want to employ, feel free to add an OS version
 check to the port. See the graphviz-gui port for a way to do this. But I
 think supporting older OSes is still valuable. There are those whose older
 G4s do not officially support Leopard (I have one of these for testing,
 and even though I've hacked Leopard onto it, the experience is less
 wonderful than Tiger) and there are those running servers, where changing
 the OS of a running server would probably be disastrous and result in
 significant downtime.
