Seems to have a path bug, "port build" returned an error due to
/Users/afb/.macports/Users/afb/.macports/ being used for extract ?
Fetch seems to be using another recursion through the loop, at:
/Users/afb/.macports/Users/afb/.macports/Users/afb/.macports/...

The configure line was:
./configure --prefix=/Users/afb/.macports --with-no-root-privileges

So when installing to your home directory, "/Users/you/" will
be hardcoded in the binaries and in any archives/packages made ?
Unless you use --with-shared-directory and --with-install-group
to use an common (hardcoded) path accessible to all, is that it ?

Not that it isn't a much bigger task to make it all relocatable,
but still: this could be a problem when creating the binaries...
