Comment(by dweber@…):

 Given that port command, I can only assume it rebuilds everything when
 there are changes to the Portfile or changes to the variants used for the
 build.  One way to avoid that, is to use the -o flag, as in:

 {{{
 $ sudo port -d build -o InsightToolkit
 }}}

 That should keep the "old" state files (in the work path), even when the
 Portfile is modified.  During debug runs, I sometimes manually delete
 state files while using the -o flag.

 Also, if you want to continue working on the port after a successful
 install, use the -k flag to keep all the valuable build files in the work
 path.

 When I started work on this port, it was a huge hassle to rebuild all the
 time.  The -o and -k flags were my saviour.
