Why? In my experience AF is next to useless in a portrait situation (typically getting the tip of the nose and not the leading eye in focus). MF lenses are miles ahead when it comes to damping and steepness of the focus ring.
I wish someone came up with a good MF lens (integrated into the camera's electronic to e.g. show enlarged centre section when focusing) for µFT.

Depends on how mobile your subject is and how skilled you are with MF. I had a child portrait session recently that there was no way I could have done with MF. Granted, I use f/2.8, so I have somewhat more leeway. AF accuracy is one thing that makes me drool at the 7D, though.
