 Replying to [comment:5 macports.org@…]:

 https://osxfuse.github.io/ that corresponds to what MacPorts is using. At
 the time of this writing, it is 2.7.0.

 binary:

 > $ sudo mv osxfusefs.fs osxfusefs.fs.macports
 > $ sudo ln -s /Library/Filesystems/osxfusefs.fs osxfusefs.fs

 > Any port that has a dependency on
 /opt/local/Library/Filesystems/osxfusefs.fs/... should now work.

 Since an upgrade of osxfuse a couple of weeks ago, even under Mac OS
 10.6.8 I got the same error message when trying to load osxfuse
 (```/opt/local/Library/Filesystems/osxfusefs.fs/Support/osxfusefs.kext
 failed to load - (libkern/kext) not loadable (reason unspecified); check
 the system/kernel logs for errors or try kextutil(8). the OSXFUSE file
 system is not available (71)```). The workaround above solves the issue
 for me (with, at the time of this writing, the official 2.7.5 binary
 osxfuse and the port of osxfuse 2.7.5 installed). Thanks!

 Therefore, I suggest extending the solution adopted in r129493 to Mac OS
 10.6.
