Not the same thing at all.

ports contents avahi returns this:
Port avahi contains:
   /opt/local/bin/avahi-bookmarks
   /opt/local/bin/avahi-browse
   /opt/local/bin/avahi-browse-domains
   /opt/local/bin/avahi-discover
   /opt/local/bin/avahi-discover-standalone

This is not the same thing as installing to the destroot and then  
having to grope around in there.

may not have been clear but the idea would be that a list of files  
would be generated *without building anything.*
