I wasn't sure if this port.el was something that was meant to be a part of MacPorts itself, or would remain separate, for example to be installed by a separate port.

For code that will be contributed to the MacPorts project, GPL-3 and later are not an ideal license choice because Apple employees are prohibited, by company policy, from examining it. Several Apple employees do participate in MacPorts, and it is unfortunate when one of them is prevented from contributing to an aspect of MacPorts because of its choice of license.

The rest of the MacPorts base code is under the BSD license. It is nice when all of a project is under a single license.
