Comment:

 I'm being conservative in working on Leopard for some time, hoping that
 many library issues will be resolved by others for Snow Leopard sometime
 in the next 6-18 months.  Hence, I don't have a test system for SL.

 IMHO, if the libraries compile and install properly with MacPorts, then
 the port has done it's job.  So, this problem may be an upstream issue to
 be addressed with Kitware/vtk developers.  That is, there may be elements
 of the source code to be modified for working with SL.  I have limited
 experience playing around with the render code for Cocoa in the vtk source
 distribution.  In the MacPort, there are no custom modifications to the
 source code (none that I'm aware of).  Check the vtk user mailing lists to
 see if there are any posts about similar behavior.

 Please get back to me if this is really a specific problem with the
 MacPort distribution (i.e., compile and install process).

 Take care,
 Darren
