Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, "port list" doesn't seem 
to tell me what I want to know.

% port list dbus
dbus                           @1.2.12         devel/dbus

I want to find out that I have dbus @1.2.12_4 (active), and @1.2.12_5 
(present but inactive).  "Port list" doesn't appear to tell me that. 
Am I overlooking something?
