I've downloaded MacPorts 2.0.4 but I'm wondering if I should install it using a slightly older version of Xcode for Lion (like 4.2.1) or if its generally ok and recommended to use MacPorts 2.0.4 with Xcode 4.3.1 (which is the current version offered in the App Store)? I ask because I seem to recall not too long ago there were some problems with getting MacPorts to work well with Xcode 4.3.x. 

I guess go ahead and use Xcode 4.3.1; MacPorts was largely fixed to work with Xcode 4.3.x in version 2.0.4. You'll probably run into some individual ports that don't work with this version of Xcode yet. As you would anytime any port fails to build, please file bug reports in these situations so that we can fix them.
