Comment (by mellonjasper at gmail.com):

 I created a new account with no administrator rights and checked the PATH,
 MANPATH, DISPLAY and env. No MacPorts paths where present. After running
 the postflight script ran (withoud sudo), a .profile was created. After
 opening a new shell the PATH, MANPATH, DISPLAY and env where correct
 (several /opt/ paths added). The output of postflight contained some
 error, but they where al related to not running as administrator.

 The install.log indicates a problem:

 The /etc/paths.d and /etc/manpaths.d/only contain an X11 file.

 I hope this helps.
