 Thanks a lot for the clarification. I didn't know it was so easy to modify
 a Portfile. It worked. Well, I later faced bug
 [https://trac.macports.org/ticket/39849] but was able to easily fix it
 with the edit suggested in the ticket discussion. Anyway, the purpose was
 installing midori, and after a number of packages installed, I know hit
 another problem with webkit-gtk-2.0 which seems to be unreported (an
 Internet search got no results about the error I'm getting). I'm going to
 open a ticket right now, in the webkit-gtk-2.0 port. Thanks!
