If that's running in the same interpreter as port.tcl and macports.tcl, 
then yes.

Probably just ordered by rowid, i.e. might as well be random. Note that 
the sort_ports proc from restore_ports.tcl does not take a list of 
registry references like registry::entry returns, but a list of strings 
representing port names, versions and variants in the format generated 
by 'port installed'.
