I didn't notice long periods with no output but I do see port -v  
returning with no output under certain circumstances. Like port -v  
install already_installed_port.

And when I was building a Portfile and had a checksum or web path  
issue, don't remember, seems it didn't give much output there either.

But no long hangs. Sounds like a network or distribution file issue to  
me.

But I know close to nothing about how port works inside.
