Comment:

 Replying to [comment:3 ryandesign]:
 > The problem arises when a chain of symlinks is used, depending on the
 order in which the symlinks are processed, which is whatever order
 `readdir` returns them in.

 In fact another problem occurs before this: MacPorts only repoints
 symlinks if they are pointing to a real file (`file isfile`), not a
 symlink.

 base/blob/master/src/port1.0/portdestroot.tcl#L274-L275

 This rewrite works for me for graphviz-devel: https://github.com/macports
