+Note: ''do not'' set MANPATH here unless you have already set it elsewhere (or are running Leopard, which does so). If you have not set MANPATH in another place, and are running Tiger or earlier, omit the MANPATH line. For more information about setting up the shell environment variables correctly, please see [http://guide.macports.org/#installing.shell the Guide].

Most ports install just fine unless they try to add themselves to the LaunchD (e.g. most services, but you'd need root for most of them anyhow). If you do run into a required port that tries to add itself as a startup item, you can edit the Portfile (e.g. {{{port edit <portname>}}}) and change {{{startupitem.create yes}}} to {{{startupitem.create no}}}
