You appear to be correct, based on this commit message: https://github.com/macports/macports-base/commit/cf42f8ab68e9ea8c6ded7ce2961d6829d73274d3 I did not realize / remember this. I do not know if setting it to hidden actually causes Spotlight not to index it, just that the commit message claims it does.
