The Portfile is stored in the registry (otherwise, what happens when
there's a script that needs to be run on uninstall or deactivate but the
port no longer exists?). Your inclusion will not be in the registry with
the Portfile (how would it know?) and the Portfile doesn't necessarily get
run from the port directory (which, again. may not even exist at that
point).
