The best I've thought of is to define the notes normally, then in pre-activate, clear the notes if the user has already dealt with what they tell the user to do. That way "port notes" still works, but the notes don't get shown to the user every time they upgrade. But I haven't tested this strategy in practice.

That's why I said clear the notes in pre-activate, since MacPorts prints notes in activate.

I've now given this strategy a try with whois, and it seems to work.

It will become tricky, of course, if there are multiple sets of notes to be displayed, with different conditions on each.
