It should work as given, except for replacing "EMAIL" with your  
maintainer name.

Here's the output I get for you:

port file maintainer:markd \
| xargs grep "[[:space:]]cd[[:space:]]" \
| grep -v "system[[:space:]]" \
| sed s%^/Users/rschmidt/macports/dports/%%

Good point! You're right, my search will erroneously flag occurrences  
of "cd" within ui_msgs. Not sure how to filter those out automatically.
