"First", which should be the same as the directory in which it is
stored. It's just that the Portfile is supposed to be able to come from
things other than a regular file, so I'm a little sceptic at adding
more hacks which assume that it is. Then again, a) it already does
assume a great deal about Portfile being a regular file anyway and b)
building directly from a .portpkg or a database is probably lightyears
away anyhow...
