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) --anders PS. Just noticed that they pulled the link to Mac OS X 10.4 too, http://www.apple.com/macosx/tiger/ ...
