Hmm, that's an interesting thought; since activate only creates hard  
links it'll definitely be faster than extracting the archive followed  
by creating those hard links.  While inactive, ports shouldn't be  
looking in /opt/local/var/macports/software for stuff, so should be  
safe.  Thanks for the idea.
