Comment (by istlota@…):

 You are right in that we Snow Leopard users have become the red headed
 stepchildren of the Mac world. And, this may be the last straw that nudges
 me to Mountain Lion. But, before I make that leap, and for the other
 redheaded stepkids out there, I am going to go as far as I can with this
 because, for some bizarre reason, there was a time when VTK5 was installed
 on my Mac.

 Some good news --> I did find a page which describes how to install older
 revs of a port which is
 https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/InstallingOlderPort . The bad news, I
 used that Way to try revs all the way back to 11 months ago but I still
 have not been able to successfully install VTK5 with or without the
 +python27 variant. So, whatever changed for me, it was not just a stealth
 update, or at least not just that alone. Since I am able to recreate the
 problem, I am going see if I can figure out some more details on what the
 problem is for cmake.
