I would ask you to wait until it is clear that Apache2 will build and  
work on Leopard.

I can't build Apache2. I can't build PHP5. I can build MySQL5. Those  
are the 3 big ones for me.

Of course I would be quite unhappy on my old 10.3.9 server. That  
probably won't get updated to Tiger or Leopard, so at some point I  
will probably have to grab the Portfiles and supporting files and put  
them into a local tree. I'll have to maintain that set on my own.

Gee - at this point I have to wonder if I should bother with macports  
at all. The ease and benefit of using the port system will be gone.
By ease and benefit I mean that I am not subject to Apple changing  
out my software and breaking my production system. Now the macports  
system will do it for me.

sigh.
