I think you should remove the patch and use "PORTHOME = ${WRKDIR}"
instead, then I think you can get rid of the pkg-readme bit about
creating the cache dir because if I read correctly the code should
handle it.

MODPY_PYTEST isn't appropriate here - there is pytest infrastructure
but something is missing so the tests don't run ("fixture 'image' not
found") and I couldn't figure out where to get that from; fixing
that would be preferable, but otherwise I'd do something like

# fixture 'image' not found
NO_TEST = Yes

pkg-readme doessn't follow the standard format from infrastructure/templates.

Would it make sense to include those, either in the main volatility
port, or a separate port/ports (maybe with volatility having a RUN_DEPENDS
on them)? (Pity those distfiles don't have version numbers).
