Does `sudo port load ...` do a force load (`launchctl load -F ...`) or
does it write it out as runnable (`launchctl load -w ...`)?

It's an alias for `launchctl load -w`. And note that this feature is
broken in 1.8.0, http://trac.macports.org/ticket/21128

If it writes it out, is this the preferred way to run ports with
startupitems?

`port load` has just been created as an easier alias to start and stop
daemons installed through MacPorts. If you want other things (like -F)
it is quite inflexible.

Since it is an alias for `load -w`, we should go through and clean up the message that says to run "launchctl load -w ..." once that bug is fixed. The user really only needs to run `port load ...`
