The people who maintain the firewall or would set up the server may not
have a clue about the Macintosh, let alone MacPorts.

The required managerial sign-off may not have a clue about computers of any
sort.  I have even seen this at Apple and Microsoft.  You could facilitate
their sign-off by providing a PDF with an executive summart;  MacPorts fans
could send them via Internal snail mail to corporate.
