Great question. And even before the question of a local mirror: is there a format for packaging a set of binaries that can then be installed into
an existing system -- like a *.deb or *.rpm file?

Such a format does exist: It's called a .pkg file and you interact with them every time you install an Apple software update. However, I don't think there's any functionality in MacPorts to create or use package files.
