As I wrote, I had the exact same problem, and I re-installed Xcode4 from
scratch, and MacPorts was _still_ unable to find Xcode4

My conclusion is that there's a corruption somewhere in MacPorts based
upon the fact, that when I re-installed MacPorts from the ground up I
had no problems at all !

Try pushing the MacPorts install to the side and re-install MacPorts:
mv /opt/local /opt/local-old

If the newly installed MacPorts can see Xcode4 then there's a corruption
in the old install of MacPorts

One could then erase the newly installed version and move the old one
back to see if the problem still persists:
rm -r /opt/local
mv /opt/local-old /opt/local
