 The nmap port will not perform scans, or performs scans extra slow when
 run  as root. It will run fine under my userspace, but certain scans
 cannot be run without root. This is on a fresh install of Mac OS X Snow
 Leopard 10.6.2. After installing from source on their website, I had no
 problems.

 I ran
 {{{
 $ sudo port install nmap
 }}}
 then ran
 {{{
 $ sudo nmap -d 10.0.1.0/24
 }}}
 After the initial output, I didn't not receive any output for 15 minutes
 before I finally cancelled the process.

 I then uninstalled the nmap port, then installed nmap from source. This
 time, I received the output that I expected.

 {{{
 $ sudo nmap -d 10.0.1.0/24
 ...
 Nmap done: 256 IP addresses (6 hosts up) scanned in 54.73 seconds
            Raw packets sent: 10042 (440.834KB) | Rcvd: 5455 (223.914KB)
 }}}
