Well, it's just a suggestion, here's another one: I suggested a port group in an earlier discussion about this topic, still think it could be useful. This PG would then

- add a well-known category or some other identifier
- disable patch/config/build phases by default
- provide a default destroot phase to handle the most common use cases (*.app from the root of an DMG distfile goes into /Apps/MacPorts, while a cmd line tool would go into /opt/local/bin. etc)
