Anders,
Where exactly are the packages files created by port stored? I

see anything obvious in /opt/local's subdirectories. Also, are the

to invoke a command from port to see that information?

I think that /opt/local/var/macports/packages is rather obvious :-)
And the architecture is in the filenames, like foo-1.0_0.i386.tgz
But it's still confusing, since they had to be split up between
"archives" (such as .tgz or .xpkg) and "packages" (like .rpm or .pkg)
where the archives are the "internal" binaries that are used by
port -b and the packages are "external" binaries *unknown* to port.
More details available at http://guide.macports.org/#using.binaries,
but you can't mix ports and packages like you can in Fink or FreeBSD.
