If you're just testing, create a new empty directory, put the  
Portfile in it, cd to it, and just run port there (when you run the  
commands without specifying a port name, the port command will look  
for a Portfile in cwd).

If you want to create your own portfile repository, then you'll want/ 
need to mess with generating an index.
