But there are also binaries provided.

This has come up before, and I still agree with it. Please change  
"Source Code" to "Download" or "Downloads".

By total coincidence, I see the mailing lists are available under the  
menu item "About Us." I would change that menu item to "Mailing Lists."

Also, I would remove the links to other Mac OS Forge projects, unless  
having them there is a requirement of the deal.

The MacPorts web site seems to have the standard Mac OS Forge "look."  
Is this required by the deal, or can it be changed to something  
completely different? I don't like the default Mac OS Forge theme.


How can the MacPorts web site be changed? The old DarwinPorts web  
site was in the repository, but where is the MacPorts web site, and  
who all has the authority to change it?
