Setting up port builds on Azure using master branch of macports

[Mark Anderson]

I've had the actions beta for a while - I'm actually playing with it right
now to see if I can get my local fork to build. I wonder if I can add my
beta-ness to MacPorts somehow. They ask me the org, but I bet I can't turn
it on even with the right permissions.
