Comment:

 Perhaps if port were to trap Ctrl-C and have certain actions based on
 which phase was active at the time:
  - during anything up to and including destroot, just stop since it can be
 safely resumed from where it left off
  - during install, remove what it installed in
 ${prefix}/var/macports/software
  - during activate, ignore the signal until it completes activation,
 perhaps with a message
  - during deactivate, either ignore or go back to activate
  - during uninstall, since this has probably already begun deleting
 there's probably no choice but to let it finish
