ok. I don't get how the ports collection is aware of the overides, but I 
got a look at the intermediate INDEX files produced during make index 
(by make describe actually) and they already miss the ports overidden in 
dfports.
This is before Tools/make_index ever gets involved.
make_index itself looks easy to fix.
