 Attempted to install
 [http://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-1.9.2-10.6-SnowLeopard.dmg]
 on Snow Leopard 10.6.5 with Xcode-3.2.5 and a prior release of MacPorts
 (from Leopard, selfupdate wouldn't run).  The install failed and left this
 in the install log:


 {{{

 packages)
 Dec 30 07:28:17 clozaril-2 Installer[20150]: An exception was thrown from
 the install queue while running IFPKInstallElement.
 NSPortTimeoutException.  connection timeout: did not receive reply.

 software manufacturer for assistance.

 }}}

 I took a guess that since X11 was a prerequisite, maybe it needed to be
 running while the install was running.  I started X, then re-ran the
 installer, then it worked.  I don't know if that proves the installer
 needs X11 running or if it was just a transient error.
