Comment (by egall@…):

 Replying to [comment:3 jmr@…]:
 > Usage:
 > {{{
 > subport <subname> { body }
 > }}}
 > Body is executed iff the portfile has been opened as the port name
 <subname>. This allows defining multiple ports in a single portfile, which
 avoids redundancy in cases where you would otherwise need to have several
 almost identical portfiles.
 >
 > If someone wants to write this up nicely and add it to the guide and
 portfile(7) before I get to it, please go ahead.

 OK, so that's the usage of subports in portfiles, how about the command-
 line usage of the `subport:` and `subportof:` pseudo-portnames added in
 r100059? So far they're only documented in the changelog (r100060)...
