At a guess, you have the problem that Ryan warned you about: the destroot
phase writes directly to /opt/local/bin and /opt/local/sbin instead of to
the destroot. That means they won't be packaged and won't be managed by
MacPorts (and, if this port is buildable by the buildbots, it will
potentially mess them up by installing unregistered files that could
potentially conflict with future port builds, including new versions of
your port). You need to find out how to force it to write them to the
destroot.

This is not optional; it "looks like it worked" but it's making a mess that
can be hard for people installing your port --- and the buildbot maintainer
--- to fix. "Good enough" isn't.
