If you do not specify any other value, the default for  
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET is 10.1. You may want to

export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4

before building the port. Maybe the port should include that in its  
environment. Maybe MacPorts should include that in the environment in  
general for all ports. Why doesn't it? I've seen many ports that add  
this environment variable. Why leave it up to each individual port to  
do this?

However, I don't think that will fix the problem:

libgda should not be looking for /opt/local/var/db/dports/build/ 
_opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dp 
orts_gnome_libgda/work/pgsql/lib which, true, does not exist  
(anymore), nor should it. It should be looking for maybe /opt/local/ 
pgsql/lib or something similar (I'm not sure exactly since I don't  
use PostgreSQL). The author of the libgda port, or maybe the author  
of the postgresql80 port, will have to comment as to why it's looking  
for the pgsql libraries in the wrong place.
