Exactly. This is how I do MacPorts upgrades after an OS upgrade; I don't follow the migration instructions. I like the benefit of being able to upgrade a few ports at a time without affecting other ports, and keeping older ports installed that can no longer be built on the current OS, and I'm prepared to investigate and work around the issues that arise.
