Oops, did not see this before updating in https://trac.macports.org/wiki/InstallingMacPorts?action=diffversion=74 ... anyways, the directions on how to install it with MacPorts are under there, too, but that is just one way to do it. While it might be better to install it with MacPorts, the user should at least know how it has traditionally been done and why we now recommend installing it with MacPorts so that they can have all the information to properly evaluate whether they want to do things the old way or the new way.

Yup, it’s just a re-hash of their old connect.apple.com code. The links are still there but needlessly obfuscated.

Not on OS X. That should probably be the default on other platforms though.

Surely MacPorts itself doesn't require any part of X11?
