The source install checks the Xcode version on configure and warns if one is using an old version. I don't think the dmg installer does something like this. Checking the version on every run of port is not a good idea, especially not when we allow to choose other compilers through configure.compiler (or a new setting in macports.conf as I proposed recently). Bundling the check with the currently setting of configure.compiler could work. Maybe it would be enough to add this check to 'port selfupdate' (or a new 'port selfcheck'?). But we also have users with old MacPorts versions from time to time...
