 cocoa it fail to install.  I do not need developer templates.  I just need
 the library.  Maybe make the +xcode variant for people that need it?

Comment:

 Installing there is also violating the standard MacPorts filesystem
 layout, so it should definitely be changed; of course Xcode probably won't
 see them if they're moved, so perhaps a message during post-activate
 pointing out the alternate location and that they should be symlinked or
 something?
