Comment (by kencu):

 Because it takes so long to build, in the end I just had a running clone
 of the repo, all built. Then I would pull Cameron's changes, the build
 system could figure out what needed to be rebuilt, and it would take
 1/100th the time to build that way.

 So I personally gave up (more or less) on the MacPorts' Portfile build, as
 that was always a "from scratch" build, there are no buildbots for Tiger,
 where I was building it, etc.

 I also didn't get much enthusiasm for it, when I suggested it as a port 4
 or 5 years back, and rightly enough, I guess.

 Best of luck!
