This is the first I've heard of 10.3 not being supported anymore.
Historically MacPorts has supported the current Mac OS X release and
the previous one, and granted, 10.5 was just released. But a lot of
ports aren't working so great on Leopard right now [1]. If a decision
is made to drop 10.3 support, I would hope that we would wait until
the 10.5 bug reports stop bucketing in and we can honestly say that
the MacPorts experience on 10.5 is at least as good as it was on 10.4.
And we are currently far from that.
Last thing I heard was that support for *Jaguar* and OpenDarwin was to
be dropped (a lot of ports still have "darwin 6" and "puredarwin"
blocks), but that Panther would continue to be supported - even if
Apple doesn't really issue updates for it anymore. At least
historically, kitty-2 dies* when the new one is born.
Outside of MacPorts, I'm still supporting Mac OS X 10.3 "while stock
lasts" but that is mostly because the SDKs and Rosetta make it possible
to build and test somewhat on Leopard even... (and partly because I
think Panther has probably been the best Mac OS X release so far for
me, out of the five - as I'm still using it)

PS. Just noticed that they pulled the link to Mac OS X 10.4 too,
