If it's of any interest to anyone, I've been having a go at
creating a port that builds in the recommended way by downloading
a bootstrap compiler and uses that to build GCC with Ada support,

installs itself with absolute path references, the only way that
I can see to get that to work would be to have the bootstrap
built for installation into a temporary subdirectory of /var/tmp,
have that build and install GCC with Ada support on the local
machine, and then delete the bootstrap compiler -- though that
may mean that it won't work with trace mode on).
Why /var/tmp and not ${destroot}?
Maybe he can't write to /opt. I often compile from / to /var/tmp on
systems when I don't have root access.
If you can't write to /opt/local, you wouldn't put your MacPorts
there, and destroot is inside wherever your MacPorts prefix is, so
that's not a reason not to use destroot.
