What is your idea as to when the cache gets updated?

I have mentioned user overrides so I would want the cache function to  
be aware of things that might happen outside the port command like a  
user editing a conf file.

I might not understand what you mean by caching. Since ~/.profile is  
only sourced when a shell is first opened is the complexity of a cache  
going to pay for itself?
