Bug in port name handling

[Kevin Ballard]

I'm guessing it doesn't like the ~ character.

I haven't looked at the registry in-depth, but I'm assuming it just  
uses the receipts (/opt/local/var/db/dports/receipts). If you delete  
the slrn-dev folder from receipts that might fix your registry.

Of course, theoretically you might have a problem with your file map,  
but since it failed at the activation phase I doubt it had gotten  
around to modifying the file map yet.
