Have you tried using a svn checkout as your local repository?

sources.conf file at ${prefix}/etc/macports/ says:
  "To prevent a source from synchronizing when `port sync` is used,
append [nosync] at the end"
so my guess is "port sync" will update all sources, unless said not to.

Those would be reviewed before being committed, I don't see a problem with that.
When you can submit a patch feel free to do so on the Trac.

Eric's patch is 0.17.0 while -backend stable is listed as 0.18.0, I'd
stay with stable.
