package mechanisms broken?

Hello,

I'm trying to create OS X installers out of DP ports. This problem  
appears to be happening with all of my ports, and since there is no  
documentation on the packaging features, I have no way of  
troubleshooting these problems. I'm assuming phpmyadmin for this  
example, as you can see:

okay, this last command worked fine, although it would have been nice  
if it told me where I can go to retrieve this package (figured this  
out myself though).


Also, what is the difference between the dmg command and the pkg/mpkg  
command? dmg tosses the installer onto a disk image? Will it create a  
disk image of all the dependencies of the port too (e.g. mpkg + disk  
image)? Is there anyway to invoke packaging of multiple ports in a  
single command?


Am I missing something here, or are these commands temporarily  
broken? Running the latest version of DP...
