Probably a glitch in the upgrade process from 2.5 -> 2.6, more 
specifically than that I don't know.  I ran into a similar issue with 
Java.  I installed openJDK6 from a package and it didn't register itself 
with javavmwrapper but when I updated to the latest portrevision it did. 
  The package is missing the postinstall script to register java while 
the port actually does register itself.
