Correct.

Actually, it's that wxWidgets doesn't work with the 10.7 SDK. MacPorts would usually set the SDK to the current OS version, but in the 10.7 SDK, Apple removed QuickDraw methods that wxWidgets uses, so using the 10.7 SDK won't work for this version of wxWidgets. Hopefully a future version of wxWidgets will no longer rely on deprecated drawing methods and will then be compatible with the 10.7 SDK.
