I forgot to ad, the reason, at a unix level, the Finder alias just just another
boring file, not the intended alias. This is similar to how Windows shortcuts
look on Macs, where they come through as a .lnk file that the Mac doesn’t
understand.

Is it a Mac Alias, or a unix ln ? (i.e. the former is created with a
drag-n-drop of the App holding down the Command & Option keys, while the former
is created with the command ln -s /path/to/app lnfile, and that is a lowercase
L, not an uppercase i). MacPorts will work better with the latter
