Comment (by rhwood at macports.org):

 This port looks good.

 You might want to replace the build dependency on port:subversion with
 bin:svn:subversion since Leopard (or its XCode--I'm not sure which)
 includes subversion, and our subversion is a hefty build that may not be
 required. This should be in line with MacPorts recommended practices since
 svn is not linked against, but is only used to download the source code.

 TeXworks does not look in /opt/local/bin by default. Can this be fixed
 when building it in MacPorts?

 Should this not install a tex version if one is not already installed by
 the user?

 Instead of puts for output use ui_msg, ui_error, ui_debug, or ui_info,
 since clients of the MacPorts API will not always see what is directly
 sent to STDOUT.

 You basically want to be able to ensure that the port "just works" for the
 user. This is especially true of apps that wind up in
 /Applications/MacPorts
