There are a bunch of other executables that can be run from the command line (like mythcommflag to identify commercial breaks in recorded TV; or mythtranscode to re-encode from one AV format to another; etc) but, in practice, are very seldom used.  Usually they are automatically initiated by mythbackend or by user selection within mythfrontend.

It changes the logging parameters stored in the Myth_Frontend.app.  If a user is experiencing a problem, one of the developers may ask them to enable detailed logging in a particular area of the program AND increase the verbosity to 'debug'.  This script is supposed to make that easier.

The files in your attached zip archive are AppleScript Script files (.scpt). I see you are compiling them to Applications (.app) in the Portfile. I suggest these .scpt files be saved as plain text .applescript files so they are human readable:
AppleScript Editor -> File -> Save As ... -> File Format: Text

They can still be compiled to Applications in the Portfile, just change the file names to end in .applescript.
/usr/bin/osacompile -o /path/to/applicationbundle.app /path/to/textfile.txt
