Kernel extensions in MacPorts

[adam salter]

Hi guys,
I was investigating why there is no MacPort for MacFUSE, found this
 discussion through GMane, and just 
wanted to throw my 2 cents in.

I don't know a lot about the kernel extension loading/unloading, but
 I don't see why the source install is such a problem. Ports has a way 
to set the install variant... couldn't we have an install for those with 
subversion installed, and those without? At the moment it could bomb
 out with a message like "no source file found - you can install 
subversion and install this package with 'port install macfuse 
variant:svn'"

Thanks in advance,
Adam
