Hello Belinda,

Unison latest stable version is 2.13.16, so it's unlikely that an  
earlier version would be made available via DarwinPorts.

So you're up to the following paths:
- update the version on the server (basically, this is what I do  
whenever a new stable release appears)
- install Unison 2.9.1 based on an earlier version of the port.
The proper portfile can be found here:
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/browser/trunk/dports/net/ 
unison/Portfile?rev=4523

Please note however that it might not compile as there have been  
serious changes in OCaml that might have broken the compatibility  
with such an old source code.

Regards,

Paul
