New description:

 Currently ports.php lets you search for a port, but once you click on one
 for more info, it just takes you to the portfile in the repository. Users
 should never need to see the portfile text. Instead, we should show a
 nicely-formatted page which would include the information you can see in
 such commands as "`port info`" and "`port variants`"
