Comment (by kencu):

 no, aliases don't "convey that labelling information and only that." That
 would be pretty useless.

 They function as movable references to an application that you can put
 anywhere you want. **Which is exactly what you are asking for.**

 But they don't require re-engineering MacPorts in a basically impossible
 and (IMHO) inferior way.

 **Lacking app size** in an alias is a pretty trivial complaint, wouldn't
 you agree? :>
