On my year old 3 GHz iMac, I did a self-update last night from a .dmg  
installed 1.8 to 1.8.1 which went successfully as far as I can tell.

iMac:~ mark$ uname -r
10.0.0

iMac:~ mark$ sw_vers
ProductName:	Mac OS X
ProductVersion:	10.6.1
BuildVersion:	10B504

(and after spelling Library correctly)

iMac:~ mark$ lipo -info /Library/Tcl/macports1.0/Macports.dylib
Non-fat file: /Library/Tcl/macports1.0/Macports.dylib is architecture:  
x86_64

iMac:~ mark$ which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc

iMac:~ mark$ gcc --version
i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646)
