Comment(by autumnmist@…):

 When I upgraded to 10.6 I ended up having problems with /opt/local/*
 ending up before /usr/bin which messed up a number of my scripts.

 To upgrade to 10.6 Macports from 10.5 Macports, I completely uninstalled
 Macports (using this method http://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration).  I
 ended up not using Macports for a little while so only reinstalled a few
 ports a few days ago.  Then I realized that my path was messed up and
 fixing it in .bashrc and .profile didn't help.  After finding
 curtis_ovid's post, I realized that Macports was taking precedence in
 .bash_profile and proceeded to edit it and insert /usr/bin first.

 I don't know if this information will help or not but I definitely did a
 complete uninstall and then reinstall and ended up with the same problem.
