Jeremy, Roger is asking about the feature of Apple's Installer app that can 
display the license of a package and require the user to agree to it before 
installation.

Roger, no MacPorts base doesn't do anything specifically to make that happen. I 
know we have a couple ports that have done so manually; see the swi-prolog 
Portfile for an example. We could possibly make this easier to do in the future 
i.e. by making a PortGroup, if we deemed this an important feature and someone 
decided how we should do it.
