Yes! To do this, I use:

export PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin"

I often have the tcl port installed, which by default does not  
include thread support, but MacPorts requires thread support in tcl.  
Apple's tcl comes with thread support by default. So if I don't use  
the above, my MacPorts build fails.
