I for one hadn't heard of darwinbuild before.

Ports are added to MacPorts as people request them, or more  
importantly, as people write them. If you'd like a port for  
darwinbuild, you can file a port request ticket in Trac, but the best  
way to get the port added is to write it yourself and attach it to  
the ticket.

Well now that's the first thing you'd have to figure out before you  
can make a port. You should probably consult the documentation that  
comes with darwinbuild, or if none does, ask their mailing list or  
their developers.
