Comment(by demis.ucsb@…):

 Should point out that I don't understand why it was failing when the
 original install command used ''sudo'' anyway.

 Debug log showed that it couldn't perform "adduser" and "addgroup"
 commands without being run as root - but running ``sudo port ...'' should
 suffice, no?
 Perhaps this relates to previous issue that the LaunchAgent should
 probably go into ${HOME}/Library/LaunchAgents, instead of the systemwide
 /Library/launchAgents.  Still the inability of ``sudo port'' to obtain
 correct permissions is weird.
