Comment (by l2dy):
MacPorts could not magically pick the right stack so I have to manually
specify that.
The situation is rather complicated. In my school, IPv6 is not metered
while IPv4 is, so I'd prefer download only using IPv6 (use `-6`). However,
only wired connection has IPv6 Internet access, the school Wi-Fi gives me
an IPv6 address and gateway but has no IPv6 connectivity (use `-4`).
My proposal is to add the two global options to port(1) so I could pick
the right stack manually. The expected behavior is the same as curl's.
