Thanks.

Yup, the guide has not been updated for this change, which came about with 
Registry 2.0, which is the first that can record negative variants. Today, 
users who install MacPorts 1.9.x from scratch get Regstiry 2.0 whereas users 
who upgraded from MacPorts 1.8.x or earlier stay with Registry 1.0 (until they 
modify their macports.conf) (I think? Isn't that right?). With MacPorts 2.0 the 
old registry goes away at which point all users' registries will be able to 
remember negative variants.
