Yes, unfortunately there is a bug in the 1.6.0 installer packages  
that prevents this from working properly. You must make the file  
manually. This problem has already been fixed in trunk but no new  
installer packages have yet been produced. Sorry about that.

Xcode 2.0 is not acceptable. Please update to Xcode 2.4.1 or 2.5.

A few ports will fail to compile if you do not install the QuickTime  
SDK and I believe one other SDK. I don't recall either what those few  
ports were, so you may not run into them.
