OK. Should we eventually just create a Linux buildslave to do
non-OS-X-specific builds like this one?

Use the livecheck URL that contains the latest MacPorts release, I
guess? Problem is you cannot know whether a tag is created first or the
macports_version file is modified first, so you'd probably have to build
periodically.

Building once a day, or even once a week, and watching

  rsync://rsync.macports.org/macports/release/base/config/macports_version

for changes and a corresponding tag should be enough, though.
