Correct: the platypus port is not maintained. ("port info platypus"  
says "Maintainers: nomaintainer at macports.org")

The platypus site seems to be back up now. I can "port fetch  
platypus" and it gets the 3.2 source.

If someone who uses platypus would like to upgrade the port to 3.4  
I'm sure that would be fine. I could do it but since I don't use the  
software it would be difficult for me to test that it is functional.
