I don't see how that answers my question?  (I already read the text in
question on the macports website.)  This is what it prints:

PACKAGING TARGETS
     There are also targets for producing installable packages of ports:

   pkg
     Creates an OS X installer package of portname.

   mpkg
     Creates an OS X installer metapackage of portname and its dependencies.

   dmg
     Creates an internet-enabled disk image containing an OS X package of
     portname.

   mdmg
     Creates an internet-enabled disk image containing an OS X metapackage of
     portname and its dependencies.

   rpm
     Creates an RPM binary package of portname, similar to a tgz "archive".

   srpm
     Creates a SRPM source package of portname, similar to a xar "portpkg".

   dpkg
     Creates a DEB binary package of portname.

Perhaps I can't "see" the answer.  Please point it out.

Thank you.
