Thank you all. I was unaware of the "port sync" command. Doh! After sync'ing, I did a "sudo port install tomcat5" and everything worked like magic.

Tomcat-native is an extension to tomcat that provides a native (bare- metal c) IO stack that sits on top of apache apr, and is primarily used to speed IO operations when tomcat is front-ended by apache httpd through the ajp protocol using mod_proxy_ajp or mod_jk. Note that tomcat-native is purely an enhancement; all of the foregoing can be done (and is usually done) using non-native java code. The "native" code can speed things up a bit. > > Second question: I tried to "port install Tomcat5" and it failed > due to inability to find Ant-1.6.5.
