Comment:

 This is not a problem with Macports, but instead with your setup. Please
 post on the [http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users/
 Macports-Users mailing list] for support. Your version of Xcode is for
 Leopard and you need to install version 3.2.5 for Snow Leopard. My guess
 is that you upgraded your computer from Leopard and did not follow the
 [wiki:Migration migration procedure].
