Read the above message again. :)

You can get Xcode 3.1 here:

I forgot about plugins. I'll see if I can make a port for them too.

You're welcome, I hope it works for you. As you've found, compiling  
software with dependencies by hand can get hairy, and that's the  
whole reason we have MacPorts: so only one person has to figure out  
how to compile a given program for Mac OS X, and then encode that  
knowledge into a portfile. Some of the openvas parts needed a little  
help compiling on Mac OS X or within MacPorts and I will send those  
patches back to the developers shortly.
