Direct mode is certainly less well tested than image mode. I've never used it. Is there a particular reason why you are using it?I began using Darwinports very soon after DP was created. When Image mode was added, a few of us (perhaps under Panther but could have been Tiger) noticed significant (and documentable) slow downs on access to files in /opt/local/bin. After a conversation on the old DP mailing list, we found that hard links were problematic for the OS (at least in that version) when they exceded some level.
For the list archives, this was fixed (in 10.4, IIRC).As for your upgrade loop, I think you're experiencing bug #17762 (http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17762 )
I haven't had time to investigate (and wasn't running trunk on my direct mode machine so I missed the change that caused it).
