Not exactly what I meant. What I meant is, does building from source create a 
binary package as an intermediate step, such that the actual install (and 
de/activation procedure) can be done regardless where the package came from?


I just loaded the libkgapi package from packages.macports.org for which I filed 
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45331
For example, it contains
-rw-r--r-- root/admin       40 2014-04-07 23:08 
./opt/local/include/libkgapi2/drive/User
-rw-r--r-- root/admin     2000 2014-04-07 23:08 
./opt/local/include/libkgapi2/drive/user.h

My own, self-built tarball in 
/opt/local/var/macports/software/libkgapi/libkgapi-2.1.1_0+docs.darwin_10.x86_64.tbz2
 contains
-rw-r--r-- root/admin     2000 2014-04-07 23:08 
./opt/local/include/libkgapi2/drive/user.h
...
-rw-r--r-- root/admin       40 2014-04-07 23:08 
./opt/local/include/LibKGAPI2/Drive/User

My explanation for for what I think is responsible for the case folding that 
takes place here is in the trac ticket.
