Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 Yes but right now "port pkg" runs "port destroot", then creates a package
 of that destroot. That's what we want; that's what ports do. I can see the
 value in what you're talking about, if I wanted to distribute some
 standalone packages, and I might use that technique (running dylibbundler
 in pre-pkg) but I wouldn't commit that to the main ports tree (I'd keep
 private modified ports with those changes). And since I'd only be using
 this on my system, it wouldn't be a problem for me to need to manually
 install dylibbundler first.
