I don't know what to say. I was battling this for a half hour or more and now it behaves as one would expect. The port I am working on uses subports and I have noticed
some oddities with subports.

Here is an example: (py-cairo is a uncommitted unification port I am working on)
pillbox:dports brad$ sudo port clean name:^py..-cairo$
--->  Cleaning py24-cairo
--->  Cleaning py25-cairo
--->  Cleaning py26-cairo
--->  Cleaning py27-cairo
--->  Cleaning py31-cairo
--->  Cleaning py32-cairo
pillbox:dports brad$ sudo port extract name:^py..-cairo$
--->  Fetching py24-cairo
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for py24-cairo
--->  Extracting py24-cairo
--->  Fetching py25-cairo
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for py25-cairo
--->  Extracting py25-cairo
--->  Fetching py26-cairo
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for py26-cairo
--->  Extracting py26-cairo
--->  Fetching py27-cairo
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for py27-cairo
--->  Extracting py27-cairo
--->  Fetching py31-cairo
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for py31-cairo
--->  Extracting py31-cairo
--->  Fetching py32-cairo
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for py32-cairo
--->  Extracting py32-cairo
pillbox:dports brad$ ls -la python/py-cairo/work/

Thanks.
