I didn't really understand your previous message ... are you writing a  
new portfile? If so, you probably want the dev list and not the users

MacPorts already knows how to handle tar.bz2 archives (set use_bzip2  
yes in the portfile).

Portfiles are not shell scripts (they're tcl scripts), so they don't  
work the way you are expecting them to.

Well, you should read the guide (http://guide.macports.org/ and the  
portfile manpage `man portfile`) to start.
