I am, I have it installed, and a nice bit of work it is.  However, I'm more 
interested in being able to make contributions like fixing failed tests, adding 
requested features, etc.  And unless I'm missing something fundamental about 
the development process, I don't see how I can do that until I can build it 
from source.

I'll keep plugging away at it.  I think I'm missing some fundamental awareness 
of how Macports works.
