Hello!

I'm running Mavericks, because I want to and it's my favorite OS. 
Sometimes—understandably—things break on Mavericks, because it's old. That's 
completely fine, I'm delighted that old OS's are still supported at all!

However, there are some ports which are broken now but used to work. The one 
I'm currently having issues with is Docker Machine, which can't be installed 
due to an issue in Go and/or the Legacy Support framework (ticket #60611). I 
remember installing Docker Machine from Macports at some point in 2018, so it 
definitely used to work, and I wouldn't mind using that two-year-old version 
now—but I don't know how!

I do understand how to install an older version of a single port, via the 
procedure documented at 
https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/InstallingOlderPort. However, what I want 
to do is install an older version of not just Docker Machine, but all of the 
packages that Docker Machine depends on, so I'm not trying to compile a new 
version of Go with an old version of the Legacy Support Framework, or 
vice-versa. Is there a way to do that?

I'm using a clean prefix, so there's no danger of interfering with other ports 
installed on the system.

In other words, I'm hoping to accomplish something kind of similar to Debian's 
snapshot system, where you can install from Debian's repositories as they were 
at a certain date in the past. https://snapshot.debian.org/

Thank you!
