 > Is not that included with Xcode which is a global dependency anyway?

 In MacPorts, although the focus is clearly on the last three systems
 released, we try if possible to include older systems. To make this easy
 for everyone, some supporting software has been written and us maintained
 as possible.

 Systems from Mountain Lion and earlier don't have default compilers that
 support c++11. So this functionality is retrofitted into those systems
 with a simple single line of code in the Portfile
 {{{
 PortGroup cxx11 1.1
 }}}
 and presto, the software will build (in most cases) all the way back to
 Tiger.

 Magic. Usually :>
