I haven't tried that, but did have some problems when moving to
Snow Leopard from Leopard.  First off it requires a new xcode.
Then I ran into problems building python-2.4.6 as gcc was
throwing various errors which required patches to python.

I have built the OpenPKG version of libxslt-1.1.24 with all the
necessary dependencies, but don't have either macports or fink on
this machine.

If the system is running Snow Leopard and was updated from a
Leopard install, it's entirely possible that you would need to
rebuild libraries and packages that were built under Leopard.

Happy Thanksgiving folks.
