Comment (by mtb19@…):

 Actually, I take it back. This is bad:
 {{{
 ...
 set plistdir            ${prefix}/Library/LaunchDaemons
 ...
 }}}
 It overwrites the `.plist` file and instead creates a soft link from
 `[__MACPORTS_ROOT__]/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.couchdb.plist` to
 itself (which is not what we want). This is better (but incomplete):

 This allows creation of
 `[__MACPORTS_ROOT__]/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.couchdb.plist` but
 does not link it to (e.g.) `${HOME}/Library/LaunchDaemons`, as it probably
 should for non-root installs. (See `.../devel/dbus/Portfile` as a decent
 example of supporting `+no_root` with LaunchDaemons.)
