OSX's open source programs are either made and heavily tested in house, or the versions of the community open source projects that are heavily tested at the time of inclusion. So this would be the release that is already a few months old at the time of inclusion, which is probably a long time before release. So yes, you will get old versions. I'm pretty sure that only Apple-written source code will get updated between now and Lion's release. Also, OSX is barely hardened for server use. Tbh I wish there was a lighttpd/sqlite/php6/pear/gd/etc package, with binaries focused on each hardware revision of everything intel based. It wouldn't be too hard, and it'd save the bother of everyone less capable compiling the same thing.
