Comment (by kencu):

 Peter, my suggestion to you would be to make a new port, perhaps
 {{{clamav-legacy}}} or whatever you want to call it.

 Then you can put that in macports, and update it yourself to newer
 versions after you have confirmed they build and work.

 You might lag a bit behind {{{clamav}}} which needs little fixing to build
 on newer systems, but on the other hand you'd have something that you can
 control and update when you want.

 And then Daniel need never think of these legacy systems again, and you
 have a working clamav that people on older systems can use if they so
 choose.

 There are many similar examples in MacPorts of such things being done, so
 the road is clear and plowed, if you want to take the reins on that.

 After all, you seem to be the one paying 99.99% of the attention to clamav
 on older systems anyway!
