Maybe it's because that the operating system itself has a userland that 
is largely based on another such project with a mascot that has horns 
and a pitchfork... Then again nowadays maybe the Dodo would be a better 
symbol for the Darwin OS ? And there is always the "Hmmm. Interesting. 
See, we was just wondering why it is you have the lord of darkness on 
your chest there." *

None of this matters much to MacPorts, of course.
