Setting up an alias for the port command is better, because then the machine will \
still go to sleep after a reasonable time if it's really idle, but won't go to sleep \
if a long build is happening.

You could set a shell alias in your .bashrc or .bash_profile:

alias port='caffeinate -i sudo port'

I use basically this, but in a shell function which does this and a bit more.
