New description:

 After installing MacPorts 2.0.1 on a new machine (i.e. no prior version
 installed,) I get the following error messages in trying to access the
 port command for anything:
 {{{
 couldn't read file
 "/opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/macports1.0/macports_fastload.tcl": too
 many levels of symbolic links
     while executing
 "source [file join "/opt/local/share/macports/Tcl" macports1.0
 macports_fastload.tcl]"
     (file "/opt/local/bin/port" line 37)
 }}}
 In examining /opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/macports1.0, I find that it is
 a symlink that points to /opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/macports1.0, in
 other words, a circular link.
