No.  Whilst tinderbox is a fairly fundamental divergence from  
pointyhat when it comes to managing port building, at the lowest  
levels (the depths of portbuild and buildscript), the code needs to  
be essentially identical -- buildscript is in sore need of some  
cleaning up, but the way in which it is run needs to remain the same  
as the package building clusters so that a clean-run in a tinderbox  
guarantees (hardware failures aside) a clean-run on pointyhat.

Honestly, the best way to maintain such "bootstrap" meta-ports, is to  
keep them local to an individual tinderbox.

Sorry this isn't much help.
