yay!

> port doctor - Checks for common issues on the users system, and if found, suggests ways to fix the problem. Doctor accepts one flag (--quiet) which only shows warnings/errors rather than showing the status of each check.  There is also a configuration file for doctor located in, "/opt/local/var/macports/port_doctor.ini", which allows the user to make changes to certain ways doctor operates, though currently the config file isn't used as much as it could be. 

as long as people are bike-shedding the name of the command, I would actually expect this to work the other way - report no warnings/errors or any warnings/errors and only show all checks if passed a flag to make it more verbose.
