port notes

Hi Ryan, 
I have some more lengthy comments to add to this post which I will do later, in the meantime...

I was curious, so I installed ports `whois`, I use `whois` often, always using /usr/bin/whois, and now have /opt/local/bin/whois.  What is the advantage?

FYI:
`port info whois`
Description:          whois is an improved whois client that follow the delegations from the Verisign whois
                      server.

* follow should be follows.

I see a lot of example use of `wget` online, but have always leaned on `curl` for those needs. Being the maintainer of `wget`, what advantages do you find over `curl`?

Thank you
