MacPorts doesn't have either of those features. You'll have to consult the Git repository: https://github.com/macports/macports-ports We have a script called port-whatsnew which is supposed to tell you what changes have been committed to a port since you installed it: https://github.com/macports/macports-contrib/blob/master/port-whatsnew/port-whatsnew It doesn't work right now because it hasn't been updated to account for our move to GitHub. Still, it shows how you could determine what has changed in a repository since a date, and that idea could be extended to get the information you want.
