After just being told (by port install) that I couldn't build ispell because the GNU replacement for ispell (which doesn't work like ispell...not exactly a direct replacement) aspell was installed, and, for some unknown reason, they're incompatible, I did some RTFM and ran the steps, and then reconfigured it for /usr/local and installed it.
Now, I'm building a script to force this in case I run into this again with another port. The one thing I'm missing is how (via a script) to get the directory (e.g., textproc for ispell) that the port is in. Is there a way (that I missed while doing my RTFM), via the 'port' command or some other ports-related command, to get the directory name (from either root or some fixed path)? It's not absolutely necessary, but it would help avoid a manual step or two.
