Unneeded perhaps but as long as they don't > break anything, why bother. The current libtool port does install .la files. There's no work in progress to change this. If nobody sends patches to the upstream maintainers, there will never be a libtool version which completely works without .la files. So the right thing to do ATM is to *not* remove .la files in ports. There may be software which dosn't work without them.
