Yes, there is a setting to achieve this. On a global level you can set
sandbox_enable no in macports.conf [1], which all affect all
builds. I'm not sure whether this can be changed on a Portfile level,
though. However, there's also portsandbox_active [2,3], which affects
whether commands executed will be sandboxed, so portsandbox_active no
in a Portfile should also give you what you need.
