Yes, just Dockerfile (+ docs & tests), nothing in binary form.

Yes, that's precisely what I had in mind. As for the location, it
would make sense if others would cast their vote. One option would be
macports-base (as that's what we are basically shipping), else
macports-infrastructure.

I don't know whether or not it would make sense to run PortIndex at
image creation as that would make the image rather non-reproducible
(different image every time when you try to create it).

In any case it might be nice to generate the portindex for linux on the server
    https://github.com/macports/macports-infrastructure/blob/master/jobs/mprsyncup#L67
which would dramatically reduce the startup time.
