Comment(by mcalhoun@…):

 Based on this discussion, could the problem be the following in
 portindex?:
 {{{
 --- portindex   2008-11-04 09:06:00.000000000 -0500
 +++ portindex.new       2008-11-21 21:02:26.000000000 -0500

      global macports::prefix
      set save_prefix $prefix
 -    set prefix {\${prefix}}
 +    set prefix {${prefix}}
      if {[catch {set interp [mportopen file://[file join $directory
 $portdir]]} result]} {
          puts stderr "Failed to parse file $portdir/Portfile: $result"
          # revert the prefix.
 }}}

 Making the change seems to have changed the \${prefix} to ${prefix} in a
 test Portindex file.
