I just tried it now, but I get the same results, perhaps I should manually delete any folders that are created in /opt as well.
This is a small sample from configure:

configure: Not using Objective-C runtime
configure: Not using Foundation implementation
checking for CoreFoundation framework... yes

I don't know why the _CF prefixed symbols can't be found, I found some of them in the framework header files. 
I think the most fundamental part of CoreFoundation should be included in Darwin as well. Darwin 8 is supposed
to be equivalent to mac os 10.4 though, could I benefit from using an older version of MacPorts perhaps?

Thanks for the input.

Fred
