 The port fails to install on my system. I'm using OS X 10.6.5 with the
 current SDK.

Comment:

 add "universal_variant yes" to the jam portfile, then uninstall jam and
 reinstall with +universal.  the end result (the 'jam' executable) will not
 actually -be- universal, but this takes care of the above issue.  Try this
 & see if it works for you.
