MacPorts keeps track of which phases have been completed. If you successfully build a \
port, for example, the build phase is marked completed and will not be attempted \
again until you clean and start over. 

To bypass that behavior, you can edit the state file (a file in the work directory \
whose name is .macports.${subport}.state) and remove lines from the end of it for \
completed phases that you want to retry.
