XCode Command line tools not detected?

I think Macports does not detect newer installs of Xcode tools. Here's the story Having just upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, I installed Xcode 6.1, including the extras it asked for when run for the first time. Xcode 6.1 (plus extras) includes the command line tools inside the app, so

Yes, of course. My question was how Macports detects whether the tools are installed, and whether it detects them if the tools are part of the Xcode.app (if they are). If the tools are not installed, then some ports won't build. If all ports build, the tools are installed. If the tools
