 === Will MacPorts link to system libraries rather than its own? ===

+No, MacPorts maintains its own versions of libraries. See the next question for the reason why.
+
+You may find some ports that link with some system libraries. Some of these are intentional, such as in cases where the MacPorts version is missing some crucial functionality (e.g. ports that need Kerberos support use the Mac OS X-supplied library, not the MacPorts one). In other cases these are bugs in the relevant ports, and tickets should be filed so it can be corrected.
 
 === Why is MacPorts using its own libraries? ===
