Comment (by hawkins22 at gmail.com):

 App packages are supposed to be completely contained... Thus, you can
 run them from anywhere.  Move the app package to /Applications/Vim.app
 (I don't wnat to keep unneccessary subfolders under Applications).

 Run the application.
 first, several colors in my .vimrc file aren't found.  first problem.

 next, type ":syntax on".

 This error appears:
 can't open file /Applications/MacPorts//Vim/Vim.app/Contents/Resources/
 vim/syntax/syntax.vim


 Neither of these tests are a problem in the original location.
