https://guide.macports.org/#development.local-repositories is a good start.
If you want a complete sandboxing, you can install MacPorts from source
with a different prefix (and possibly even a different "macports" build
user, for extra insulation). Change $PATH to switch from the main one to
the devel one, presumably not having /opt/local/bin etc. in $PATH at all
when working with the devel installation.
