Comment:

 You should attach patches, not full Portfiles, so we can see what you
 changed.

 You should use ${prefix} instead of hardcoding /opt/local

 I don't like the +ada variant because it causes the entire port to be
 built using MacPorts' gcc 4.3 instead of with Apple's gcc 4.0.

 I don't like the +macada variant because it uses things that were not
 installed by MacPorts, which is against MacPorts policy. And it causes the
 entire port to be built using the external gcc 4.3 in /usr/local/ada-4.3.

 If a port needs a bootstrap program, the port should download and
 internally use that bootstrap program. It should not rely on other
 software to be installed externally, and it really should not rely on an
 earlier version of itself having been installed.
