I CC'ed here mostly to see if any port maintainers had run into a similar issue 
and found a workaround. The repetition isn't MacPorts fault, but the length of 
the repeated component is (as far as that's a fault). One workaround might be 
to build in /tmp/macports (however that c/would be achieved ... loopback device 
or mount -bind equivalent?).

In fact, couldn't the trick used by tracemode be used also to map between a 
virtual, compact and readable path visible to the build process and the real 
${workpath}? That would really be nice just for readability ...
