What is the purpose of this commit?
I know ${PORTSDIR} is now optional, and I can see removing it if 
touching the port for other reasons, but what is gained by removing it 
as the only change?

for portmgr:
1) Is everyone supposed to do this?
2) Is there going to be a set of sweeping commits to convert the entire 
tree?

Can somebody elaborate on what the ${PORTSDIR} policy currently is and 
what it will be?

John
