I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and found these WIKI notes[1] useful. Obviously Debian is a different beast but there may be some tidbits in here. I ending up blowing away and reinstalling macports and then building it all from scratch.

A big thanks to davisp, janl, and all those on the ml for all the comments, notes, etc.. and taking the arrows on this. I reckon it saved me half a day, beers are owed :)
