 On the Tiger machine I updated to the tip of the 1.9 branch (@68698, to
 overcome #25194), ports I upgrade don't activate properly:

 {{{
 $ port outdated
 The following installed ports are outdated:
 c-ares                         1.7.1_0 < 1.7.3_0
 cfitsio                        3.240_0 < 3.250_0
 xlsfonts                       1.0.2_1 < 1.0.3_1
 $ sudo port -u upgrade xlsfonts c-ares cfitsio
