Oh, I didn't know that.

Ow. That's almost worse than not expanding (because it might sort of  
give the impression of working, for now). I mean for example if you  
want to use ${x11prefix} in a depspec, then that will break for users  
of Tiger and earlier the instant we upgrade the portindex machine to  
Leopard or later since x11prefix will change to something that  
doesn't exist on Tiger and earlier...
