Welcome to MacPorts!

You could try setting universal_sdkroot to the 10.4u SDK,  
universal_target to 10.4 and x11prefix to /usr/X11R6. However,  
building on Leopard for Tiger, or any other such cross-compilation,  
is ill-tested in MacPorts and not supported. To truly test this, use  
a real Tiger machine. If you don't have one, perhaps someone else who  
does can test it for you.
