Comment (by kencu):

 testing out PRs that include changes to PortGroups can be tricky, because
 things do not always work the way you might expect them to work.

 the only really certain way to do it is to use a github checkout of the
 ports tree, make that the primary default source for ports, and then
 checkout the PR into that github checkout of the ports tree and run a
 portindex in that folder first.

 and if none of the makes any sense to you .... well ... just wait for the
 commit to roll out and see how it works for you, I would say.
