You can get the web site code here:

http://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/www

I haven't yet understood why I seem to be getting different behavior  
out of the different pages (and even different behavior of http:// 
www.macports.org/ vs. http://www.macports.org/index.php ) when  
they're all including the same common code to handle the headers.
