Many ports define sections that only take effect on 10.3, or only on  
10.4, and so on. Look through the output of "port installed" and see  
if any of them include "+darwin_7" (Mac OS X 10.3.x is based on  
Darwin 7.) If so, I think it would be safer to rebuild those ports at  
least now that you have 10.4 (a.k.a. Darwin 8).

Though, you're also now using a different Xcode. Under 10.3 the  
latest Xcode available was 1.5, but now you have access to (and  
should absolutely be using) Xcode 2.4.1. It may be prudent to  
reinstall all ports using this new Xcode. To do so, either determine  
the dependency tree of your installed ports and reinstall them in the  
correct order, or, which may be easier, save the output of "port  
installed" and then move /opt out of the way and completely reinstall  
MacPorts and then all your ports. If you do it this way, do check  
also if you have any port-installed items outside of /opt. Some ports  
do that.
