With the advent of binary port distribution, it would seem this

Well, I would say that one step on the road to binary port
distribution is fixing this issue, so that ports that were installed
via a binary are recognized as having been installed by MacPorts just
like ports that were installed from source.
As for when that horizon will come to pass ... well, who knows :-)
10.6 will definitely make it easier with fewer architectures.
Perhaps, but I think once you have a build system ready to go on,
say, an Intel Mac, getting it to also work on a PowerPC Mac shouldn't
be that much of a stretch. So I don't think the number of
architectures we want to support is really a problem that's holding
up port binaries.
