If you run "port install" then port will remove worksrcpath after install; and
you can change this behavior with:
-k keep mode (don't autoclean after install)
With -k you can uninstall, rm destroot, edit statefile removing destroot phase,
edit Portfile and install the port again.
$ sudo port -vok install gate
