New description:

 nodejs6 only seems to work on 10.7 and later (see also #53165 and many
 other tickets).

 Based on comments in the portfiles it seems that nodejs4 and 5 require at
 least 10.6 and nodejs requires at least 10.7. It would be nice to fallback
 to an older version of nodejs (perhaps version 5) on < 10.7.

 Btw: is the isomarcte's email in Yarn misspelled?
