Yes, unfortunately MacPorts doesn't handle that case well since many ports
you have installed were probably built with 10.4-specific bits.  The safest
method is to move /opt/local aside (eg, to /opt/local-10.4), do a new
MacPorts install then install those ports you want/need.  You can use 'port
installed' prior to moving /opt/local aside to see what you currently have.
