Comment (by cal@…):

 Old versions of dependencies are not supported. MacPorts specifically
 ensures it does not build against an outdated version of a dependency.

 Please state your use case for this, and I'll try to see if there's a
 different way or whether we should keep an older version of a specific
 port in a separate non-conflicting location.
