Installer packages produced with "port pkg" are designed only for use on the version of OS X they were created on.

In my opinion you'd have the greatest success of creating a package compatible with 10.6 and up by running the "port pkg" command on a computer running 10.6.

If that's not an option, you *may* have success by setting macosx_deployment_target to 10.6 in macports.conf and then rebuilding all ports relevant to this package (i.e. the port's rdeps). But there are probably ports out there that don't support this setting.
