ports upgrade outdated problem

[Gary Little]

I had the same problem, though it was for apr. The primary problem six that a Mavericks compatible MacPorts has not as yet been released. You can however, follow the migration instructions you will find at the macports website, and perform an SVN installation. You will build MacPorts with Xcode 5.0.1 and you can then upgrade outdated ports.
