The path probably comes from the home directory of the macports user
that is used for privilege separation in several phases of the build
process of a port.

$ dscl . -read /Users/macports NFSHomeDirectory
NFSHomeDirectory: /opt/local/var/macports/home

You macports user was added by a previous installation in the default
prefix. I suppose these messages are harmless, but you could change it
to the home directory in the prefix you are using.
