Hmm.. I don't really see how that can work actually..
If you already have the port installed it will barf unless you set 
FORCE_PKG_REGISTER.

Also, it would force an upgrade of the port which isn't necessarily a good 
thing (eg I can't use the latest nvidia port because the 6113 driver blows up 
on my laptop).
