The current advice is to get a non-macports app called Caffeine to do some magic, or write a custom port wrapper to use pmset noidle before and after the port command.  This should be an option in the MacPorts configuration somewhere, one shouldn’t have to resort to 3rd-party apps or scripting to get user-friendiness out of MacPorts.

"caffeinate" has been included since Mountain Lion (10.8)
