But please understand that users of Tiger will encounter increasing frustration with MacPorts as time goes on, as port maintainers and software developers test with Tiger less and less frequently because it is years out of date now. If possible, please upgrade to Snow Leopard. I'm glad I did.

On the contrary, I've found Windows users are often reluctant to upgrade their operating systems, while Mac users upgrade rather quickly. New releases of Mac OS X are typically faster than older ones, aside from having new features, so after the initial period of adjustment, it should be quite advantageous to upgrade. Of course, before upgrading the OS, first check that all the non-MacPorts third-party software you use is compatible with Snow Leopard, and also check the MacPorts issue tracker for tickets on any of the ports you use to see if there are any Snow Leopard-related problems.

Not gtk-doc -- docbook-xsl.
