I could have "cheated" and grabbed an svn client - but...
I re-did MacPorts 1.5 so I could "port"

house54 29 # port --version
MacPorts 1.700
Entering interactive mode... ("help" for help, "quit" to quit)

long_description        Tree is a simple utility that displays a \
                                         tree-view of directories and  
files. It has \
                                         options to use ANSI color  
escape-sequences or \
                                         ASCII graphic characters,  
and can also output in \
                                         HTML format.  Tree was  
written by Steve Baker \
                                         for Linux.
