 Replying to [comment:2 jmr@…]:

 I know from experience that the Lion installer removes the "UNIX
 Development" bits, which MacPorts needs. Does it not work to use Xcode 3.2
 in /Developer-old while having Xcode 4.1 in /Developer and its UNIX
 Development and System Tools in /usr?

 No, this is incorrect.  If you have Xcode 3.2.x installed, and upgrade to
 Lion, it is still there and works as normal.  Also, you can install 3.2.x
 under Lion - certainly you can install 3.2.5 under Lion because I did this
 yesterday without issue, except that then MacPorts refused to work saying
 it requires 4.1 for some reason.

 If there is a *really* good reason MacPorts requires 4.1, fair enough, it
 just means I can't use MacPorts.  But I don't see why it would require
 4.1.
