update macports install procedure

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ To install CouchDB using Mac``Ports
- If you experience a Bus Error when compiling CouchDB on OSX 10.5.3, it's likely due to incompatibility between the OS and Mac Port's Erlang. Luckily, fixing the problem is as simple as removing one line from the Portfile, and rebuilding Erlang.

- == Dependencies ==
- 
- Ensure that all dependencies are in place - assuming you are using macports then a
  
  {{{
- $ sudo port install gmake autoconf tcl erlang spidermonkey icu
+ $ sudo port install couchdb +server
  }}}
  
- should be enough.
+ should be enough. Mac``Ports takes care of installing all necessary dependencies. If you have
+ already installed some of the CouchDB dependencies via Mac``Ports, run this command to check and
+ upgrade any outdated ones, ''after installing CouchDB'':
+ 
+ {{{
+ $ sudo port upgrade couchdb
+ }}}
+ 
+ This will upgrade dependencies recursively, if there are more recent versions available. If you want to
+ run CouchDB as a service controlled by the OS, load the launchd configuration which comes with the project,
+ with this command:
+ 
+ {{{
+ $ sudo launchctl load -w /opt/local/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.couchdb.plist
+ }}}
+ 
+ and it should be up and accessible via http://127.0.0.1:5984/_utils/index.html. (Don't use the plist file
+ Mac``Ports mentions in output, located at {{{/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.CouchDB.plist}}}, it does not work.)
  
  == Dependencies - Erlang ==
+ If you experience a Bus Error when compiling CouchDB on OSX 10.5.3, it's likely due to incompatibility between the Mac OS Leopard and Erlang HiPE. Luckily, fixing the problem is as simple rebuilding Erlang with the most recent port file. Run:
+ 
+ {{{
+ $ sudo port selfupdfate
+ }}}
+ 
+ to update the port tree, and then install just as explained.
+ 
  Here's [http://trac.macports.org/ticket/15459 the bug report on the Mac Ports website.]
