This doesn't work here:

Synchronizing from file:///Users/vinc17/wd/macosx/dports
Password:

It shouldn't ask any password (I have a ssh-agent). The problem is
that sudo probably resets the environment. You probably need to run
the user's shell in a wrapper (and I'm not sure this is sufficient).

A cleaner solution would be that port should do the sudo when need be.

Fortunately, there's the [nosync] flag...
