Comment(by heapifyman@…):

 The problem seems to be that I am working as a non-admin user and have to
 invoke the port command with prepening sudo. As I am a lazy person I
 thought I'd add an alias to my ~/.profile like this:
 {{{
 alias port="sudo port"
 }}}
 The problem described above only happens when this alias is active.
 Without the alias bash-completion works as expected.
 Is there some other way to avoid typing sudo all the time when using port
 command?
