When you ask MacPorts to install a port, it will first check if there is a
binary on our server for that version and revision of that port with the set of
variants you specified and for the OS version you're running. If there is, it
downloads and installs that, ignoring the build instructions in the Portfile.
Since your proposed change does change the files that get installed by the
port, you would need to increase the revision. Doing so also ensures that there
is no matching binary on our server, since nobody else has that revision yet,
so MacPorts would build from source on your system.
You can also force a build from source by using the `-s` flag. (`sudo port -s
install ...`)
