Comment (by larryv@…):

 You’re correct; MacPorts is designed around reproducible builds and
 explicit port updates. Tip-of-branch ports are only possible through
 inconvenient workarounds, and we frown on the idea from a policy
 standpoint.

 Your best course of action depends on what your actual goal is.

 - '''Providing users with a development version:''' A complementary
 `*-devel` port is our standard way of doing this (see `port echo
 '*-devel'` for a list), and it works well if the maintainer provide
 regular updates. You’d have to open a new Trac ticket each time, but
 small, obvious patches are often pushed quickly.
 - '''Doing actual tmux development:''' A `tmux-devel` port would work fine
 for this, although you’d have to track ToT manually. If that sounds
 onerous to you, you might be better off doing your development outside of
 MacPorts. MacPorts is first and foremost a software management and
 distribution system, and only secondarily a development tool. These roles
 sometimes conflict, as they do here.
