#29214: xcodeversion portgroup: Don't fail if Xcode.app can't be found

Comment(by eturro@…):
I understand there are complications. My point is simply that checking the
existence of /Developer/Applications/Xcode.app is an unreliable proxy for
checking that the system meets all the requirements for building ports.
This is likely to become more of a problem as SSDs become more prevalent
and disk space more precious and people are forced to delete files they
don't use. In my experience, literally everything in /Developer except for
Xcode.app (whose existence some ports check) can be deleted and ports will
continue to build fine. If anyone can think of a better proxy for checking
that a system meets the requirements for building ports, this would be
welcome.
