Bill not for a heart beat would I suggest replacing mac ports with a VM. 
I was opining that using a VM is better/nicer/whatever than installing linux natively on your mac.
I read that Linus Tolvards uses a mac (natach running linux) as his machine. Doing so might be nice idealogically but until apple overwhelms with things like SIP osx uses the hardware better,
