I'm putting together a Portfile for symlinks by Mark Lord. The
source doesn't come with a license and the author has stated that it
doesn't have one [1]. Is there such an identifier for the license
field in a Portfile?
For that matter, is there documentation on valid identifiers?

When users who use a broken DNS server [1] try to fetch a port which has one or
more master_sites that are offline, they will probably receive an HTML file
(from the broken DNS server's search page) instead of the distfile, which will
result in a checksum mismatch error followed by this

Is everything in-between the curly brackets read only if user issues 'port

Yes. Another common idiom is

Subports make sense iff the portfiles greatly overlap.

I'm a bit confused here. You seem to be saying that without a license
an archive can't be distributed, but also that it's a Permissive
license, which is identified as distributable. Or am I
misinterpreting?
The author intends for it to be open, but if following the law to the letter, a

No. Same error. OS X 10.7.2, MacPorts 2.0.99 at first, now 2.0.3.
