New description:

 If you're in a directory that no longer exists and attempt to run any
 commands relating to MacPorts you'll get an error:

 {{{
 $ cd ~/desktop
 $ mkdir test
 $ cd $_
 $ rm -rf ../test
 $ port search xorg-server
 error getting working directory name: no such file or directory
     while executing
 "pwd"
     invoked from within
 "set current_portdir [pwd]"
     (file "/opt/local/bin/port" line 5725)
 }}}

 Yes, it's a strange to remove a directory that you are pwd, but maybe
 MacPorts should have some type of check in that circumstance?
