Sure.

No, it doesn't. The revision is basically versioning for portfiles and MacPorts' own fixes. The Infinality patches are more like a supplemental upstream.

That works, but something in MacPorts breaks. I can do `port patch freetype +infinality` to check whether the patches apply correctly, but when I continue with `port configure freetype +infinality` the process continues all the way to the install or until the 1st error.

That sounds like a bug. It would be great if you could open a ticket about it and provide a minimal test case.
