Can we deduce that the OS has changed when the installed platform of any package no longer matches the current platform?

I don’t think we keep track of the last-used OS X version anywhere, but maybe it’s as simple as checking if any installed port was installed for a different OS version than the current one (e.g. we’re now on darwin 13 but there are ports installed with darwin 12).
