New description:

 I'm trying to install Macports 1.9.2 with the .pkg for Leopard.  I'm
 running OSx 10.5.8, have x11 3.1.4 installed (with UNIX option and
 x11SDK), and I've modified the path with /opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin at
 the beginning.  The .bashrc and .bash_profile have been removed so
 .profile has precedence.

 When I run the package installer, the following error occurs:
 {{{
 'Either uname or sed could not be found in PATH. Your system appears to be
 incomplete or misconfigured.'
 }}}

 It looks like I've verified the shell env properly, all variables are the
 same as the example over on the trac install wiki except for:
 {{{
 TERM_PROGRAM_VERSION=240.2
 __CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING=0x1F5:0:0
 }}}

 I'm not able to have the MacPorts paths imported into X11 sessions because
 /etc/X11/ does not exist, so I can't add 'source ~/.profile' to the
 xinitrc file.  The only 'xinitrc' file on the machine is in
 /sw/fink/10.4/stable/main/finkinfo/x11, and is attached.

 Thanks for your help.
