New description:

 Please implement port reload (or port restart) command, which will do
 something similar to:

 {{{
 port unload && port load
 }}}

 optional: without disabling/enabling OSX launchd autostart.

Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 At the moment, `port load` and `port unload` simply directly call
 `launchctl`. To my knowledge, there is no `launchctl` equivalent for a
 restart or reload command. Perhaps we should check if there is any
 literature on the best method to restart a launchd-controlled service.
