I don't think we still have this package. However, MacPorts base does
build on Linux systems (if you install some GNUstep libraries and
have an Objective-C compiler).

I shall warn you though: Pretty much the only useful thing you can do
with this Linux version of MacPorts is generate a PortIndex and mirror
distfiles. Do not expect it to build any software.
