Hey, I thought, so I don't need to port trees on my system (I have a  
subversion-tree for Portfile maintenance anyway)... I edit /opt/local/ 
etc/macports/sources.conf and that's what I get:

 > port -dv sync

I know how to update that dports tree manually, but it would be nice  
to have port sync working that way;)
