Most of them contain an auto-updater (Sparkle [1]) which conflicts with
MacPorts. Imagine an user installs such an Application through MacPorts
and then the auto-updater installs a new version in the
/Applications/MacPorts area. I don't think we got a way to handle this.

If they offer a way to be build without auto-updater it would be ok to
create Portfiles for them.
