So are you saying that you think "MacPort" is a valid term?  I was
thinking it wasn't an accepted and/or used term.  If folks think it is, I
can stop flipping between using "MacPorts port" (mostly in intro parts)
and "port" in the docs.  It's not a really big deal though, except just to
settle if the term "MacPort" is considered invalid usage or not.
