Comment (by reneeotten):

 in [changeset:fad4c239852513bce862c05877929863b3b82b97/macports-ports this
 commit] the {{{poppler}}} port was migrated to the {{{boost}}} PG, so that
 explains why it now uses the latest {{{boost176}}} which is the newest
 version the port builds with. However, it also now adds the {{{boost}}}
 variant to the default set, possibly that can be changed to not do that on
 older systems.

 For now you should be fine with just installing {{{poppler -boost}}},
 unless of course you do need that variant then you'll probably have to do
 some work yourself. You could, for example, add {{{boost.version 1.71}}}
 to the Portfile in you local port directory to have it built with a
 version of {{{boost}}} that apparently builds on Tiger, which I assume you
 have if you want to get things to work on an old system.
