end of ~/.profile:
. /opt/local/etc/profile // source the macports profile



/opt/local/etc/profile:
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin/:$PATH // add PATH env for  
macports base
for file in $(ls /opt/local/etc/profile.d/); do // /opt/local/etc/ 
profile.d contains env vars needed and installed by ports like perl5,  
mysql5 ect....
  . /opt/local/etc/profile.d/$file // source the file
done



/opt/local/etc/profile.d/mysql5:
export PATH=/opt/local/bin/mysql5:$PATH // add PATH env for mysql



/opt/local/etc/profile.d/perl5.8.9:
export PERL5LIB="/opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/perl5.8.9:/opt/local/ 
perl5/perl5.8.9:$PERL5LIB" // add perl5 module paths



Something like that. So the perl5 port could add this profile.d/ 
perl5.8.9 file and remove it if uninstalled.

With something like this adding another os user and setting up their  
env would be just adding the sourcing of /opt/local/etc/profile to the  
~/.profile.
