Just an FYI on anyone that followed this thread or later finds it via  
google.

I tried the above port command on my intel macbook running 10.4.8 and  
ran into a little trouble.  The following two issues arose (this is  
using DarwinPorts-1.3.1 for 10.4)

1) fontconfig 2.4.4 failed to build

  There were unmatched #endif statements in one of the files  
(probably a sed error somewhere).  I fixed it by downloading the  
Portfile for 2.3.2 instead and stuck here:

/opt/local/var/db/dports/sources/ 
rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dports/graphics/fontconfig/Portfile

It built it fine after that.  If you're installing a fresh version of  
macports, I'd recommend doing the above before trying to 'port  
installl gnucash'

2)  aqbanking failed to configure

It needed libofx installed first.  A simple 'sudo port install  
libofx' worked fine, then I continued with the gnucash port install.

After that gnucash and all its dependencies built without issue, and  
I even have a working aqbanking now.  Woot!
