I don't think so… certainly you can install MacPorts on a non-default partition; you just compile from source and set --prefix=/Volumes/Whatever/opt/local for example. If you wanted to still be able to refer to it as /opt/local, you could make /opt/local a symlink to /Volumes/Whatever/opt/local and that should work in most cases.
