All MacPorts commands can be shortened as much as you like, as long as the shortened command remains unique. So "port con" does not work (because it would be ambiguous whether you mean "contents" or "configure") but "port cont" works.

Unfortunately "port install" can not be shortened at all because that would be ambiguous with "port installed".
