 I tried to install Pallet with Macports 2.3.0 on OSX 10.9.3 with Xcode
 5.1.1 (5B1008) but it did not work.
 Xcode 5.1.1 comes with clang-503.0.40.

 The build logfile shows the following error when using this compiler:
 {{{
 error: garbage collection is no longer supported
 }}}

 As workaround I did the following:
 1. "sudo port install clang-mp-3.5"
 2. I try to force that this compiler is used:
   "sudo port install Pallet configure.compiler=macports-clang-3.5"[[br]]
   -> but it was still not working[[br]]
   -> I saw in build_log that it uses clang from xcode anyway (Is the
 compiler hard coded in build script ???)
 3. now I try to change the Xcode compiler manually
   "cd
 /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin"
 4. "mv clang clang_xcode"
 5. "ln -s /opt/local/bin/clang-mp-3.5 clang"
 6.  "sudo port install pallet"
   ->installing of Pallet works now without error and the program runs fine
 (well except from that fact that Pallet can not find not the /Library/Tcl
 directory, but this will be an other ticket...)

Comment:

 The Pallet port does not hardcode the compiler, but it uses Xcode, and
 Xcode cannot use arbitrary compilers, without some fiddling. But you
 should undo the changes you made in
 /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin.

 The "garbage collection is no longer supported" bug is already reported in
 #43581.
