Yes, port groups will be used from their own ports tree. Only if the
port group file does not exist there, it falls back to using the port
group from the default ports tree. This is the same behavior that is
applied for all files in the _resources directory.

I added a debug message in r112824 [1], which makes it easier to see
which port groups are sourced.
