Unfortunately, I often need the most recent builds of things and they 
are not usually supported by the DarwinPorts as far as I can tell.

For example, I wanted to replace the Apple supplied Ruby with 1.8.1 but 
I wanted the 'stable-snapshot' instead of the release version.  As far 
as I know, that would not be available using DarwinPorts.
