Xcode 3.0 had some bugs, which have fortunately been fixed in 3.1. So  
it's not an effective use of our time to engineer workarounds for  
Xcode 3.0 bugs when you could just install Xcode 3.1 and not  
experience the bugs anymore. Therefore I added that message to the  
tiff port to prevent you from running into the Xcode 3.0 problem and  
advise you of how to solve it. :) There are several ports now which  
either emit the same message, or will fail if you try to build them  
with Xcode 3.0. Therefore you would make your life easier by  
installing the latest Xcode.

I did see that message but I don't know anything about Berkeley  
Packet Filter devices or creating nodes. You might try asking the  
developers of openvas if they have further advice, since they at  
least know something about that feature since they wrote their  
software to use it.
