Comment (by dluke at macports.org):

 Replying to [comment:4 vinc17 at macports.org]:
 > Since it is not active, there is no need to install it,

 It is installed to enable the end user to easily 'activate' the automatic
 startup (launchctl load -w foo.plist). The way the current startupitem
 code works, the plist will be recreated/replaced upon upgrade.

 The plists that are generated should be sufficient for people's needs, but
 if you wanted to use it as a base for a plist that does something
 differently, that would be reasonable as well.

 Perhaps we should update the documentation to make this more clear?

 In any event, it's not a bug for this particular port (it's either a
 documentation bug, or a base bug).
