 You can certainly expect to come across issues; MacPorts' PortFiles have largely been written to assume they are installing on Darwin, but with minor modifications to some ports, seem happy with Linux as well.
 
+Two common issues that come up with ports on Linux are the dependence on ed and BSD's sed.  Two packages on macports that tend to find all of the dependencies are ncurses and xz.
+{{{
+sudo apt install ed
+}}}
+There are few BSDSED packages on github.com that will address the sed issues that come up on ncurses.
