Sorry about the delay in responding... long weekend for me.

You were right about the portfile.  I did the installs a day or two
apart.  The binary installations worked after doing a "port sync".

I suppose that this does leave the door open for a shared repository
of binary archives but I don't think that I can get away with a world
writable shared directory.  Are there any features in 1.7 that would
permit a read-only archive directory?
