In your case, the ssh-copy-id port was already installed, but inactive.
The Portfile in your registry will not have the pre-activate phase,
because it was copied at "install" before the pre-activate phase was
added to the ports tree.

When you use 'port activate', it will use the registry.
When you use 'port install' or 'port upgrade', it will use the ports tree.
