I was apparently headed into a brainfog when I wrote that.. recovered today
but catching up on stuff. And I think it was actually the opposite
situation that was happening: someone tried to restore /opt/local from a
backup, found that there were port components not under /opt/local missing
(notably the symlinks into launchd's directories), and a
deactivate/reactivate fixed.
