I would expect it to. That flag tells 'port' to ignore the failure in 
the 'destroot' stage of installation and proceed to archiving the 
(presumably bad) staged package and installing it from the somehow bad 
destroot directory.

I would NOT expect Bitkeeper to work. I would also expect 'port contents 
bitkeeper' to show less than the necessary compliment of files.
