I am interested. I think what is needed is mainly a newbie - friendly site for 
port, explaining the problem port solves, how to get asdf / asdf-install running 
on your distro to the point where you can grab port and go.

The thing I'm missing is a testing methodology and test suite. And a few 
volunteers to run it on platforms I don't have access to - I once got entangled 
in a multi - complier C++ library and testing was the #1 nightmare. I believe 
ECLS folks have similar problems in covering so many compilers / platforms.
