(re)viewing messages/notes from installation

Greetings,
Messages/notes often fly by unnoticed when printed during installation,
especially for ports that are built as dependencies of others.  The note
about startupitem for dbus is a topical example. 8-)

How do I (re)view any such messages?  I *thought* that

	port notes <port>

would do the trick.  But I get:

	-> port installed dbus
	The following ports are currently installed:
	  dbus @1.4.18_0 (active)
	-> port notes dbus
	dbus has no notes.

even though I see such a note in Portfile.

I'm missing something...

Thanks,
Mark
