So I really don't think this is of any help:

keybounceMBP:git michael$ sudo port -v install git

Now, if I uninstall macports git, and then reinstall it:

Oh, wow:

keybounceMBP:git michael$ sudo port uninstall git

Enter option(s) [1-20/all]: 

Lets remove #20 :-)

Now an install ... oh, I was expecting a pre-built.

I cannot figure out how to get macports to do a profile build; as far as I can tell, that's not a supported option.
Nor do I know how to apply a local patch to the source of git when using macports.
