Rescuing a Macports file from Time Machine

[Dave Horsfall]

Let's say that I accidentally lost a critical Macports file (don't ask).  
How would I recover it with Time Machine?  It seems that my only options 
are to recover an arbitrary file within my home directory, or to restore 
the entire Mac, thereby making the whole Time Machine concept about as 
useful as an ashtray on a motorbike...
