 It took me quite a while to figure this out, so here is a description of
 what I (successfully) did in the end. For a number of reasons I placed my
 local ports in /opt/LocalDarwinPorts instead of ~/Macports, but that
 should not make a difference. So here is what I did:

  * Created directory `/opt/LocalDarwinPorts/local-sources`
  * Created directory `/opt/LocalDarwinPorts/local-
 sources/python/py26-numpy`
  * Created directory `/opt/LocalDarwinPorts/local-
 sources/python/py26-numpy/files`
  * Downloaded attachment:Portfile_numpy.3 to `/opt/LocalDarwinPorts/local-
 sources/python/py26-numpy` and named it `Portfile`
  * Downloaded attachment:wrapper to `/opt/LocalDarwinPorts/local-
 sources/python/py26-numpy/files`
  * Copied all files in
 `/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/python/py26-numpy/files`
 to `/opt/LocalDarwinPorts/local-sources/python/py26-numpy/files`
  * Added `file:///opt/LocalDarwinPorts/local-sources [nosync]` to
 `/opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf` just above
 `rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/ports/ [default]`
  * Ran `portindex /opt/LocalDarwinPorts/local-sources/`
  * Ran `sudo port clean py26-numpy`
  * Ran `sudo port upgrade py26-numpy`

 This worked fine and I now have
 {{{
 port -v installed py26-numpy
 The following ports are currently installed:
   py26-numpy @1.4.0_0
   py26-numpy @1.4.1_1+gcc44 (active) platform='darwin 10' archs='x86_64'
 }}}

 Afterwards, I could upgrade py26-scipy straight from the standard
 portfile.

 When will this wrapper solution be committed to the portfile repository,
 so one can avoid the manual workaround?
