Comment(by frederic.devernay@…):

 Actually, wxWidgets 2.9 is not 100% compatible with 2.8 (see the wxWidgets
 doc, http://docs.wxwidgets.org/2.9.4/overview_changes_since28.html ), so
 it may still be necessary to have wxWidgets 2.8 availablefor some
 applications.

 Carbon support was not dropped from 10.8! only the 10.6 SDK was removed
 from Xcode 4.4 (it was still there in 4.3), and Carbon applications
 compiled against the 10.6 SDK still run fine under 10.8.

 I managed to compile it on Mountain Lion by getting the 10.6 SDK from my
 time machine at
 /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform//Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk
 and then adding the following section in the Portfile (after the "platform
 darwin 11" section).

 It should also be possible to get the 10.6 SDK from the Xcode 3.2.6
 distribution (there's a package for that in the dmg). It would be great if
 macports could have a prt that installs the 10.6 SDK.

 Note that several ports seem to use the 10.6 SDK (plus all the ones which
 require wxWidgets):
 fgrep -r MacOSX10.6.sdk
 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports

 platform darwin 12 {
         pre-configure {
                 if {![file exists
 ${developer_dir}/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk]}
 {
                         return -code error
 "\n********************\n${name} requires Mac OS X 10.6 SDK, please get it
 from XCode 3.2.6\n********************"
                 }
         }
     configure.args-append \
         --with-macosx-version-min=10.6 \
         --with-macosx-
 sdk=${developer_dir}/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk
 }
