If that's not how it works by default for you, then you need to check your
/opt/local/etc/mac/ports/macports.conf (there should be a stock one in the
same directory).  Also, don't pass the -b or -s options to the "port"
command, which options force binary or source build modes on a particular
run.

The default behavior is to attempt to download a prebuilt package, and if
that fails then do a source build.
