indeed. in addition to the cxx11 1.1 portgroup, it'll need a build dep on git for 10.6 or less. I just tested this and it works correctly. I'll add something to the PR I made for this.

Well, if it needs git, a git dependency should be added, on all systems. If we want to ensure it's MacPorts git, use port:git. If it's ok for it to be an OS-provided git, use bin:git:git. This is unrelated to the build failures addressed by your PR so I wouldn't necessarily include it there.

Ah yes: bin:git:git would do it.
