Comment (by jmr@…):

 Do you really need symlinks or is having the current version available
 somewhere sufficient? Because the version is stored in
 rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/base/config/macports_version as well as
 being listed on the homepage.

 Also, is installing a different version depending on when you happened to
 install really the behaviour you want? That’s something we try hard to
 avoid in MacPorts.
