That makes sense, but I sometimes do things like `port livecheck
installed` or `port livecheck rdepof:someport` to check for any ports
that might need updating, especially nomaintainer ones. That wouldn't
work if subports don't have livechecks.

I'm not sure that's an important case to support, but I thought I'd
mention it.
