> I've changed "applications_dir" because I like my apps in /Applications - could that simple change result in effectively disabling port's ability to install from pre-built archives?

The prebuilt ports on the buildbot are not building their ports to go into /Applications, so therefore they don’t match your setup — so you can’t use them (even though many would be OK, it’s an all-or-nothing thing.
