Comment(by raimue at macports.org):

 My idea on this was to add more flags to sources.conf. Currently the only
 used flag is `nosync` to prevent syncing with 'port sync'. It is used like
 this:
 {{{
 rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/ports/ [nosync]
 }}}

 We could add new flags which describe inheritance of other port trees
 using name keys: `[name=bar,inherit=foo]`. (Side note: the name could also
 be used in `port info` and similar to indicate the source).

 Or just add a flag named "default" which indicates that this will always
 be used as lookup if something is not present in another ports tree.
