Lingon Portfile Update

I am just curious, where is the value in a portfile for Lingon?  There  
is a easy to use binary installer for this that supports every OS  
version you could need.

Not trying at all to diminish the value of ports, I am literally  
trying to understand what, perhaps, I am missing out on here by using  
port to manage as many apps as I can, even ones with clear Mac OS X  
style installers that are GUI driven.

Thanks.
