Comment(by bwoods@…):

 I tried chown-ing recursively from the /opt directory to both root and my
 local username to no avail.

 The machine I am using is part of a corporate network, but the accounts
 are created locally. After the accounts are created, IS changes the user
 id number to match the company unix accounts so there are no problems on
 the NAS servers. Other than that, the numbers mean nothing to me. With
 that said, they said they re-chowned everything and the numbers would have
 been changed before macports was installed.

 The macportsuser field appears to be commented out but would otherwise be
 root. I installed from a downloaded image, not source.

 As for accounts, there are a total of 3: myself, an IS Admin, and a guest.

 This install is only about 2 months old, so I am not sure whether or not
 selfupdate has worked before on this computer. I know I had previously run
 selfupdate, but don't explicitly remember applying a new version.
