Two options: (1) Make a whitespace-only change to the Portfile. (2) Tell
somebody with a log-in for build.macports.org to trigger a build.

For (2), there are a bunch of people like that on this list, but the
accounts are created manually. I'm one of them. If you tell me what
port(s) you want rebuilt, I can trigger that for you.

(1) might be simpler because it takes care of all OSes and is
self-service.
