Ok, you're running 10.6, but your uname command is broken. MacPorts  
uses uname (specifically "uname -r") in the installer script to check  
that your OS version is correct.

uname is important not just for MacPorts itself but for probably most  
software you'd want to install using MacPorts, so you will need to  
figure out why your uname command is broken, and fix it.
