 qgit runs git --exec-path on startup to find the core git executables.
 Assuming git is installed through Macports, the git executable lives in
 /opt/local/bin. If qgit is run through the command line, and this is in
 $PATH, everything is fine. However, if qgit is run through
 /Applications/MacPorts/qgit.app, the path does not include /opt/local/bin.
 git --exec-path therefore fails, and gqit reports:
 {{{
 An error occurred while executing command:

 git --exec-path

 Git says:

 Unable to start the process!
 }}}
