Is it possible to have an internal macports mirror that also contains binaries, so I can compile all the ports I need once and install them on several boxes instead of re-compiling everything on every single box?
Great question. And even before the question of a local mirror: is there a format for packaging a set of binaries that can then be installed into an existing system -- like a *.deb or *.rpm file?
Such a format does exist: It's called a .pkg file and you interact with them every time you install an Apple software update. However, I don't think there's any functionality in MacPorts to create or use package files.
