Generating a list of all installed software (or something like that).

Hello Everyone,

I'd be interested in generating a complete list of all software I have
installed through MacPorts so that I don't have to back up my
installation in case of a hard drive failure.  Basic use case would be
that if my disk fails, I just download MacPorts again, and then run
this script through it and after awhile I get my exact install back
the way I had it n-days before the crash.  Any way to do this?

This has been inspired by APTonCD's ability to generate a list of
everything you've installed through apt for various purposes, if you
want to know an analogue.
