Comment (by raimue at macports.org):

 No, sorry. I meant how you invoked the postflight script. But after some
 testing I was now able to reproduce the issue anyway.

 A simple reproduction recipe for the problem:
 {{{
 echo 'echo $USER $SUDO_USER' > foo.sh
 chmod +x foo.sh
 sudo ./foo.sh
 }}}

 This gives for me
 {{{
 root raim
 }}}

 The postflight script reads $USER which is set to 'root' when running with
 sudo. But in Installer.app $USER is probably exported to the installing
 user. Maybe it should just respect $SUDO_USER, if available.

 Workaround:
 {{{
 bash postflight
 sudo port -v selfupdate
 }}}
 No sudo for postflight this time, most probably you will see an error
 message that selfupdate failed. But that's no big deal and we just do it
 afterwards.
