port callback example

[James Gregurich]

I don't see how I can use that to write data to a file.  So, I'm considering adding additional callbacks for muniversal potentially named:

pre-muniversal-configure
post-muniversal-configure

However, I don't know enough about TCL and the macports design to see how to set up the pattern for myself.
