That can't be right. Mac OS X 10.5 is Darwin 9, as you say, so  
removing the darwin_8 variant section from the portfile cannot be the  
correct solution.

If I had to guess, I'd say perhaps you did this?

1. You installed Smultron 3.1.2 while on Tiger; this installed  
smultron 3.1.2_0+darwin_8
2. You upgraded to Leopard.
3. You tried to upgrade to Smultron 3.2. Because you had previously  
(auto-)selected the darwin_8 variant, port tried to select it again,  
even though it is now inappropriate for your new OS.

If this is the case, then the solution is not to modify the portfile  
in any way, but to (forcibly?) uninstall any port you have installed  
that has the +darwin_8 variant, and reinstall it so that it gets (if  
applicable) the +darwin_9 variant.
