Even if it were possible to integrate into Trac, I don't know that it would 
belong there, but it's certainly something that would be nice to have in a 
hypothetical totally-redesigned ports.php page. Some other ideas floated for 
such a redesign:


ports.php: web site should have page about each port, not link to portfile

https://trac.macports.org/ticket/19300


ports.php: category pages hard to navigate; consider by-letter navigation

https://trac.macports.org/ticket/19298


add license display to ports.php

https://trac.macports.org/ticket/20946
