Comment(by chocolate.camera@…):

 I wrote the feature request precisely after reading that, and considering
 it a pain. I think that it should be more handy that Macports itself
 handled that by using a command-line parameter.

 My need for it is not so much because it would be useful to **me**, but
 that it would be easier for me to tell other non-Terminal-savvy users how
 to install a custom port by simply sending them the patch and giving them
 the command line to execute. The suggested method is completely out of
 those user's abilities.
