This appears to be a Tiger-specific error. (It's not surprising that the constant AVAILABLE_MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_5_AND_LATER is not available on 10.4.) But even if we can fix this, you'll probably then run into the build problem everyone on Leopard and up is running into with iTerm; see #20377. Unfortunately iTerm has been abandoned by its developer; I recommend you use iTerm2 instead, but of course that requires Leopard or newer.

Since iTerm has been abandoned by the authors and it doesn't build on any of the 4 OSes macports uses, I obsoleted this port in favor of iTerm2
