Oh my, that's too much for me, I've just hit CTRL-C. Of course this might leave me with a corrupt installation but I'm just too paranoid about Mac Ports killing my hardware. 

IMHO there really should be prebuilt binaries for 10.4. It's a waste of energy and resources to have everybody build this on his own...
