You will have trouble building things with XCode, as teaching Xcode 3.26 about the installed clangs, cctools, and ld64 stuff in  MacPorts is a bit tricky. I have done all that, but have to write up how to make it work for general users.

Went a long way with package installation in the last days, I’d say 98% of my needs. 

Now stopped at 

install qgis +grass 

All dependencies installed properly, but qgis failed. At first, had to modify qgis Portfile according to <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/57112>, adding 

configure.args-append   "-DWITH_INTERNAL_FUTURE=OFF"

After that, build process went quite far but stopped at about 49%. Any guess from the tail of the log shown below? 

Ready to file a ticket with the full log, but I’m afraid that being an old version of qgis failing on a non-standard MacPorts configuration on an ancient system, it may not deserve much of attention…
