Oh, I see what you mean -- `port install` after `port destroot`. I don't really 
understand your question, then.

`port upgrade --force` is basically a `port install` that's interrupted between 
the install and activate phases by the deactivation of the old port.

(And it always runs, even if a suitable archive already exists.)
