Description
The portindex generation evaluates the platform variants for the current platform it is running on. If a generated PortIndex is then used on a different platform the information might be incorrect.
This is a problem for different dependencies or for the replaced_by option.

Possible solutions:
- Make portindex ignore platform variants
- Add another mportopen to macports::_upgrade to verify replaced_by before use
- Always generate portindex locally, using a merging SQLite backend for speed

This problem is currently existing on our main ports tree for example for darwinbuild, which uses
replaced_by darwinbuild-legacyin the platform variants. The PortIndex is being generated on a darwin 9 machine, which causes upgrade to go for darwinbuild-legacy instead on any platform.
