 I think a 'WARNING MAY CONATIN NUTS' note is definitely needed, as for
 moving the files, why not have an extra port that users can download as an
 add-on? Im pretty sure less people would download if they knew it had
 virus's and im pretty sure not everyone is using an antivirus thinking
 macports is safe and doesn contain unlisted virus's?? (IMO).
