Good news, however, to shower a bit your enthousiasm, a quite natural
idea, searching name_of_a_port and macports often gives it first or
second result. Example:

google(mpc macports) at the moment gives it first place, second and third to
db.macports.org, fourth place goes to what seems to be an up-to-date
mirror on a Georgia Tech server... The new "Available ports" page that
anybody to see at first place is only 10th (not bad but there is room
for progress).
