On a side note, I didn't get this part:

Suppose a port is built on the buildbot. The user is 'buildbot' and so the value of $user_home will be something like '/Users/buildbot'. An end user then installs the port on their system. The value of $user_home will be different, for example '/Users/steve'. So if anything involving the value of $user_home ended up in the binary archive, it is wrong on the user's system.
