Since nothing I have installed has any notes in the portfile but many of them have ui_msg could we possibly add a flag or another command to print the ui_msg as well?

port notes apache2 :ui_msg

Which ui_msgs? As explained, ui_msg can appear anywhere in a portfile, inside if clauses, inside phases, inside variants, etc.

I would rather ports be modified to start using the notes feature.

I understand but there is a lot of valuable information in the existing ui_msg.

I was thinking parse the file as a normal "port upgrade" but don't actually execute anything other then step into variant blocks so you pick up the ui_msg for the variants in use.
