If /Users/sysbh/MacPortsDev/macports-port is a complete clone of the 
ports tree, then you cannot avoid portindex being complete for it.

In practise though, this is really not an issue. When you first ran 
portindex it likely took a while, but that is only because it had to 
index every port that first time. Subsequent runs will be a lot faster 
as only the changed ports will be indexed.

Likewise, working with /Users/sysbh/MacPortsDev/macports-port with git 
will be a LOT simplier if it is a complete git clone.

So, my recommendation. Stick with what you have now.
