Nice idea ! I'll have a look.
BTW I've had something somewhat similar for maybe a decade or so
	http://berklix.com/~jhs/bin/.csh/customise
mine does:
- src + ports, 
- generic + personal diffs as 2 parallel patch trees (cos some of my patches
  I hope may appeal generaly but some probaly only I will ever want),
- targets a load of different release levels inc current
- only does a one off pass, installing files & applying diffs to a virgin 
  tree. 

Your approach will be nicer than mine for tracking current ports.
I look forward to trying it, & if necessary perhaps bending my patch
trees to fit your macros :-)

The MIME enclosure made it through mailman unscathed :-)
