That's a good thing, I also don't like the hardcoded /Applications/MacPorts at the moment.
Possibly tying in with the "startupitem.type none", http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-dev/2006-October/000136.html Then the above two variables could go in as something like: ${destroot.applications} ${destroot.frameworks}
Some ports may also require the real path where Application gets installed. So is ${destroot.applications} meant to be written as ${destroot}${destroot.applications}? And if it only contains /Applications/MacPorts (by default), I think ${destroot.applications} is the wrong name as it is not only used for destrooting. Rainer
