This has been requested before, and doesn't seem a bad idea, though one alternate approach might be to add a "template" command to port(1). Then you would just say "port template > mynewportfile" and not have to go looking for the template buried somewhere in the dports/ directory.

Usually I copy a previous portfile or the example from the Guide so this led me to think if we could have a port named "dummy" or "portfile-dummy" as file skeleton with all variables, maybe commented.
This could speed up new port writing, what do you think?
