Well in my case, the port I'm loading uses setgid() to run as 'nobody', so it does require root privs, else you see:

18/09/2010 20:32:17	org.macports.beanstalkd[10277]	/opt/local/bin/beanstalkd: beanstalkd.c:95 in su: setgid(-2 "nobody"): Operation not permitted

in the logs. I'm sure there are many cases where using sudo is unavoidable.
