Is there a way to get the results of an external command into a variablein a portfile?
Yep.Take a look at PYTHON_PATH in the subversion-pythonbindings port for one way to do this sort of thing.
It seems that the freebsd ports sytem has access for perl variables even for non-perl ports. Would that be easy to hack onto MaPorts? It would benice but I don't know the pros and cons.
I don't think it's worthwhile to add it to base/ since it's relatively easy for the portfiles get their own information if they need it.
