Too sad. ;-)

But I can live with it, since the number of binary ports interesting for my 
purposes is obviously not that large.


BTW, is there a way to determine beforehand whether a binary installation of a 
certain port would be possible?
I imagine that "port info PORTNAME" could tell me beforehand.

Something like
---
$ port info xz
xz @5.0.3 (archivers)
Variants:             universal
Platforms:            darwin
License:              public-domain GPL-2+
.
Binary:                 yes
---

What do you think?
