/usr/libexec is outside macports file hierarchy.

http://guide.macports.org/#internals.hierarchy

If /usr/libexec/ssh-askpass can/needs/wants to be used by your  
application you should install it to $prefix/libexec or another  
appropriate dir.

If this is anything to do with:
http://linux.about.com/cs/linux101/g/sshaskpass.htm

or something like it and your app can use it a port for this should  
probably be made.

If it's trivial I'll do it. Or I'll nominate Scott H (of boundless  
energy) to build one :)

I like that you are writing a frontend to MacPorts because there are a  
fair number of people that are new to Macs, install macports and then  
struggle when there is no double clickable gui to work with. This is  
great for them. I encouragement you to continue. You will be famous:)
