Comment:

 And '''where''' are the long format flags accept for the commands
 documented exactly ?
 Because man port only lists the single letter flags

 {{{
 SYNOPSIS
      port [-bcdfknopqRstuvy] [-D portdir] [-F cmdfile] [action]
 [actionflags]
           [[portname | pseudo-portname | port-url]] [[@version]
 [+/-variant ...] ... [option=value ...]]

 ...

    install
      Install and activate portname.


 }}}
 The only mention at all, and en-passant of —force is in the upgrade action

 and port help install says:

 {{{
  port help install
 Usage: install

 Installs the given ports

 }}}

 This is '''at the very least''' a documentation bug IMO
