 You should be able to configure, make and install MacPorts into a prefix
 under your user's control, and not have to use root to install it. But
 this doesn't work because the Makefile in the config directory is still
 trying to change the owner of ${prefix}/etc/macports to root:

 {{{
 $ PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin ./configure \
 --prefix=/tmp/macports \
 --with-tclpackage=/tmp/macports/share/macports/Tcl
 [snip]
 $ make
 [snip]
 $ make install
 [snip]
 ===> making install in config
 /usr/bin/install -c -d -o root -g admin -m 0755 /tmp/macports/etc/macports
 install: chown 0:80 /tmp/macports/etc/macports: Operation not permitted
 /usr/bin/install -c -o root -g admin -m 644 mp_version
 /tmp/macports/etc/macports
 install: /tmp/macports/etc/macports/mp_version: chown/chgrp: Operation not
 permitted
 make[1]: *** [install] Error 71
 make: *** [install] Error 1
