You should be using sudo here, unless you're already running this in a root shell.
Btw, you should probably avoid using MacPorts from root shells and use sudo
instead – there have previously been weird problems with OS X's security model when
using root shells.

I should really improve the error message to include *why* the file could not be
read.

That's the first time I hear of that. Unless you have a source you can quote on
that I'm not going to believe you, especially since my SUID (not setuuid, that's
not a thing) binaries still work as I expect them to.
