Simply because I've never created a portfile before and I wasn't aware of the benefits of doing so until you just pointed that out. pyzor needs py-gdbm and the easiest way of installing that was by using the Macports system and so it simply led from that really. But, i'll certainly read-up on how to create one and do it, as you suggested. It does make a lot of sense.
