There is an option called 'startupitems' that contains a list of
key/value pairs. These correspond to the various startupitem.* options.
It works a lot like the add_users option, with each pair applying to the
name that occurred most recently in the list.

To give an example:

startupitem.create      yes
startupitems            name foo \
                        executable ${prefix}/bin/foo

This is exactly equivalent to:

startupitem.create      yes
startupitem.name        foo
startupitem.executable  ${prefix}/bin/foo

But the interesting part is that you can do this:

startupitems            name foo \
                        executable ${prefix}/bin/foo \
                        name bar \
                        start "${prefix}/bin/bar start" \
                        stop "${prefix}/bin/bar shutdown" \
                        pid ${prefix}/var/run/bar/bar.pid

This will create two launchd plists, org.macports.foo.plist and
org.macports.bar.plist. The former will launch an executable directly,
the latter will use a start/stop script and a pid file.
