The top section says that macports is

  targeting mainly the current Mac OS X release (10.8, A.K.A. Mountain Lion)
  and the immediately previous two (10.7, A.K.A. Lion and 10.6, A.K.A. Snow
  Leopard).

It might be nitpicking, but "targeting mainly" is not quite the same
as saying explicitly "we don't build packages for your 10.5.8".
