use port to install WordPress, then use WP's updater?

[Michael Brian Bentley]

Hi!

The current MacPorts install for WordPress is for v2.8.4. v3 of 
WordPress was made available in mid-June, and currently they're at 
3.0.1.

I am wondering:

Can I use the MacPorts install for WordPress v2.8.4, and then use 
their automatic updater to bring the installation up to the current 
revision?
