That also sounds familiar in the sense of been there, done that.
Good, so it should indeed be possible to come up with a script or the like that
sets up Time Machine to do only an "economic" kind of backing up of ${prefix}.
Supposing that all ports that do use site-specific configuration files store
those files under etc/ .
I'll try to find a moment to figure out to what extent keeping an additional
list of which ports are active is required.
I just think of a complication though. The port command is installed in bin/
together with a few others, and there are probably libraries "base" uses that
live in lib/ . It's probably possible to add those to Time Machine's filter
list but it does make the idea a bit less appealing.
