Hi all,

It is available, but only if you install from the dmg, or build from
source and pass --enable-readline to configure. (IOW, you lose
readline
support when you selfupdate.)
An alternative would be to not use interactive mode and install the
bash-completion port, which gives you tab completion for the port
command.
That's a very nice tip. Thank you.
