I am a manager of MacPorts. MacPorts supports Mac OS X 10.4 and later and provides binaries for Mac OS X 10.6 and later. See: https://ports.macports.org/port/subversion (The link at https://subversion.apache.org/packages.html#osx should be updated to this.) My understanding is that Homebrew requires OS X 10.9 or later and recommends macOS 10.14 or later.

MacPorts installation instructions say to install Xcode and the command line tools in order to avoid the circumstance that you might encounter an error message when something has to be compiled that requires those. If what you are compiling does not require Xcode but can make do with the command line tools (as most things can), then you only need to install the command line tools, not Xcode. And in the most common case that what you want to install has already been compiled by our build servers and is available as a binary download, then you need neither Xcode nor the command line tools. You're welcome to install MacPorts without installing Xcode or the command line tools and try to install a port. If it works, great, if not, the error message should indicate if Xcode is required. If it indicates that, install Xcode; if not, install the command line tools.
