That's what I figured would happen indeed.

A related observation: you can only use one of the use_{zip,bz2,xz,etc} commands once; subsequent calls have no effect.
Thus, if all but a handful of the tarballs of a software family use xz compression you cannot put a "use_xz" in the PortGroup and override it with, say, use_bz2 for the few exceptions.
