Apparently one of the oldest feature requests around...
http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/463
I created a basic implementation, for later expansion:
http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/12211
It does the following:
- implicitly checks that Tcl syntax is reasonable
- checks the document for invalid UTF-8 sequences
- checks for blank newlines after certain fields
- checks for trailing whitespace before newline
- checks that PortSystem is present (but only once)
- checks that all required variables are present
- checks for maintainer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Results are divided into (fatal) errors and warnings,
while passed checks can be viewed using the -v flag.
There are several other Portfile checks left TODO,
but at least it's a start in the right direction...
Note: it currently *only* checks the Portfile, and
not the files directory nor the generated destroot.

PS. Of course it is inspired by FreeBSD portlint(1)
