I used to do this on my MacBook Air. One trick was to have .../sources
symlinked as well as .../software and .../build; this meant port
sync/install/activate/deactivate and friends failed safely if I didn't have
the drive attached. (I don't know if this is still true; haven't used it in
a while, and there have been a few updates to MacPorts itself since then.)
