Comment(by arritjenof@…):

 I'd like to add another observation.

 As i wrote, i have two seperate OSX-installs, each on a seperate
 partiotion. The main partition (hd) and a secondary partition (hds).
 On {{{hd}}} the OS is fully up-to-date, and it has XCode 4.0.1 installed.
 On {{{hds}}} an older version of 10.6 is installed, and XCode 3.2.6.
 Perhaps noteworthy is the fact that I installed XCode 3.2.6 on the
 secondary partition while being booted into the 'main' OS on {{{hd}}}
 (that already had XCode 4.0.1 installed)

 Anyway, i just did some digging, and found 3 versions of xcodebuild
 present on my machine:

 {{{
 $ > which xcodebuild
 /usr/bin/xcodebuild

 $ > /usr/bin/xcodebuild -version
 XcodeComponent versions: DevToolsCore-1809.0; DevToolsSupport-1806.0
 BuildVersion: 10M2518

 $ > /Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild -version
 Xcode 4.0
 Build version 4A1006

 $ > /Volumes/hds/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild -version
 XcodeComponent versions: DevToolsCore-1809.0; DevToolsSupport-1806.0
 BuildVersion: 10M2518
 }}}

 along the way, i also found the {{{xcode-select}}} tool

 {{{
 $ > man xcode-select
         …
         DESCRIPTION
                 xcode-select controls the location of the Xcode folder
 which will be used by xcodebuild(1) and
                 other, related Xcode BSD tools. This allows you to easily
 switch between using different versions
                 of the Xcode tools
         …
 }}}
 {{{
 $ > xcode-select -print-path
 /Volumes/hds/Developer
 }}}

 appearantly, installing the older XCode version on the secondary
 partition, also changed the default {{{xcode_folder_path}}}.
 and it seems the {{{xcodebuild}}} binary in {{{/usr/bin/}}} is just stub,
 invoking the {{{xcodebuild}}} tool in the appropriate
 {{{xcode_folder_path}}}...(?)

 setting the {{{xcode_folder_path}}} to the main {{{/Developer}}} directory
 again, fixed the ports-problem for me.
 {{{
 $ > sudo xcode-select -switch /Developer
 $ > xcodebuild -version
 Xcode 4.0
 Build version 4A1006
 }}}

 to test, you can also play around with this configuration by setting the
 environment variable {{{DEVELOPER_DIR}}},
 this overrides whatever xcode-switch would output. see {{{man xcode-
 switch}}}
 {{{
 $ > xcode-select -print-path
 /Volumes/hds/Developer
 $ > xcodebuild -version
 XcodeComponent versions: DevToolsCore-1809.0; DevToolsSupport-1806.0
 BuildVersion: 10M2518
 $ > export DEVELOPER_DIR=/Developer/
 $ > xcodebuild -version
 Xcode 4.0
 Build version 4A1006
 }}}

 So, i'd like to appologize for creating the confusion caused by my own
 mess.

 Ofcourse this still doesn't explain why the output of {{{xcodebuild
 -version}}} for XCode 3.2.6 is not accepted by mac ports, but i hope this
 info will help resolve that problem too..
