Older versions of Xcode are still available at Apple's developer website. Links to them are in several places on our website.

But the requirement isn't OS X 10.9; the requirement is libc++.

Linking to a URL with more information sounds like a good idea to me.

It refers to the variable in macports.conf where you can override the default C++ library, with possible consequences as mentioned earlier.

It requires the modern libc++, not the old libstdc++.

As far as I know, it includes the library and the headers.

I don't think static builds are a viable solution. You cannot have more than one C++ runtime in a single executable; it will crash.
