As it is, if I'm busy installing/upgrading/fiddling-to-make-work a lot of software, I may miss the special instructions. I'd like to be able to do something like "port notes installed" and get the you-also-need-to-do-this info for all installed ports.

Notes are displayed at the time of activation, so they could easily be
missed if this port has been installed as a dependency. I agree it would
be a good idea to repeat messages at the end again, so patches are
welcome :-)
