Testing and reviewing the patch.

I am not familiar with the use of case-insensitve filesystems under OS X. Does "case-insensitive" mean MS-DOS filesystems? Are there any MacPort-wide guidelines on what this means? I need to do a little research before I commit this patch, so anyone with further information could help me out a bit here.

Case-sensitive filesystems are sensitive about character case in file and directory names. HFS+ is originally a case-insensitive filesystem but to be more compatible with other Unixes, Apple introduced the case-sensitivity option for HFS+ in OS X 10.3. The MS filesystems like FAT and NTFS are also case-insensitive. The default OS X desktop installation creates a case-insensitive HFS+ filesystem by default and, IIRC, the OS X server installation uses a case-sensitive HFS+ filesystem.
