Comment (by umassthrower@…):

 I'm not sure that a deficiency in launchctl is an appropriate reason to
 have a deficiency in port.

 To start, having the "port reload apache2" command be a shortcut for
 "launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.X.plist &&
 launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.X.plist" seems
 like it would sufficiently simulate the user's expected behavior. I for
 one was slightly shocked today when sudo port reload dnsmasq failed as the
 reload/restart common case optimization is supported in most analogous
 systems as it is by far the most common use case of the load/reload/unload
 or start/restart/stop paradigm.
