I think so. Even if it's useless for normal users but developers will
benefit of this.
To test a new Portfile it's best to try it on a clean system but
normally I don't want to remove all my installed ports for this, so an
own port installations is handy.

It cost me some time figure it out even if it's real simple. So I think
a FAQ entry would be good.

Thanks,
Simon
