Yes, but a private pbzip2 can be installed with no dependencies (using /usr/lib/libbz2) while pxz would require a private xz and pxz install (I think.) It would also mean that some archives (on packages.macports.org) would be .tbz2 and some would not, which would lead to a transition plan and period. - Eric [resend to list address]
