DarwinPorts can be used on platforms other than Mac OS X 10.2 and 10.3,
but requires bootstrapping of various requirements.

Currently, DarwinPorts has been verified to work on the following
platforms:

Solaris 8 & 9 (Sparc)
FreeBSD >= 4.8 (tcl and curl need to be installed manually)
OpenBSD >= 3.3 (tcl, curl and bzip2 need to be installed manually)

We will be assuming that you are installing into PREFIX=/opt/local,
although any path can be used. Further, we are assuming a sh-based shell

Solaris:
