Comment:

 From the standpoint of the end user, the way they interact with the port
 is identical whether the port is a standalone portfile or a subport in
 another portfile. The user doesn't even really need to know which it is.
 (Any subports of the "main" port are displayed in `port info`; that's
 probably the only user-visible difference.) Subports are a convenience for
 the portfile developer / maintainer so that large portions of similar code
 don't need to be duplicated in multiple portfiles.
