So I'm not familiar with such a tool yet. However, opam files contain 
all the information MacPorts would want to build an ocaml package, and 
it should be very simple to parse them into Portfiles. The format of an 
opam file is pretty trivial. I never have had the time to do this, but 
it would be very welcome if someone did it.
