In case this helps work out a workaround ... this is the outcome of

You can see which ports had been rebuilt and which hadn't. Clearly
the order of rebuilding is important, though it's not configurable
other than by uninstalling ones beforehand that might cause
problems (like gawk, grep. gsed already identified)
I don't see perl5 or perl5.8 listed there, so please upgrade those.
Joshua said in #21069 that "the way things are set up, perl doesn't
get rebuilt". I don't understand why yet, so we have to work around
it for now.
Please keep the discussion on the list so others can learn the
solution once we find it.
Up on 10.6 now using the "manual method" as shown on
http://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration
Had to choose an order of installation based on the previously
installed port list (myports.txt), but seemed to go OK.
Issues:
1. The iMac froze solid while staging python25 into destroot ...
python25 was by install of getmail. After 10 mins of frozen cursor, I
switched off the machine, restarted, typed sudo port install getmail
and it carried on where it left off and seems fine. Nothing apparently
in Console logs to indicate a problem.
2. DSPAM overwrote /opt/local/etc/dspam.conf with its default file of
the same name. TimeMachine did a good job of putting my version back in.
3. various permission issues on ...
/opt/local/bin/dspam ... changed from ... -r-x--s--- 2 root
mail ... to .... -rwxr-xr-x 2 root mail
/opt/local/var/dspam/data ... changed from ... drwxrwx--- 3
root mail ... to ... drwxrwxrwx
(and the folders & files (.stats and .log) inside /data
Probably a fault of my own making / lack of understanding as to
its "different" user/group.
4. SMTP problems with my ISP ... in common with many 10.6 users on
various ISPs ...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2131516&start=0&start=1
two solutions to this ... both work for me here
i) enable outgoing SSL and username and password. Thunderbird is
still happy to send mail without all that.
ii) specify port 25 in "use custom port" despite the default port
having 25 in it ... and the "Connection Doctor" in Mail saying it was
happily connected.
5. other Macports quirks ...
installing php5 +apache2
installed perl5 as well as perl5.8 ... I didn't appear to have
perl5 on the 10.5.8 install (and I'd rebuilt it just the other day)
installed autoconf ... I expected that anyway from previous
discussion about build requirement ports
Having finished all the installs, I've not yet found what previously
had installed
tiff @3.8.2_3+macosx (active)
I can't image I installed it for its own sake. Is there a way (via
TimeMachine) to see what caused it to be installed before? I can't see
that gd or exif requires it today.
