It is also a very good way to get an exact idea of what ports are being installed. You can then see that port x has been installed 400 times, 390 of those with no issues, 10 of those with some issue.I proposed this two years ago but was shot down because this was considered an invasion of privacy and people didn't want MacPorts "phoning home".
I believe the list consensus was that it would be fine provided it was 'opt in'.
I had wanted to have a nice status display on the MacPorts homepage showing which ports were the most popular, for example. I see their point, but I'm glad to re-open the topic if attitudes have changed.
