from the macports.conf manpage:

      portautoclean
          Automatic cleaning of the build directory of a given port  
after it
          has been installed.
          Default: yes

So, if you really want the source (and objects) for ever port you  
build to stay around unless you explicitly clean them, then you'll  
want to set this to 'no'
