Comment(by mk@…):

 I have another case in my setups over here:
 One MacPorts system has
 {{{
 ${prefix}/Applications/MacPorts
 }}}
 another one has
 {{{
 ${prefix}/Applications
 }}}
 defined.

 The macports.conf man page states this:
 {{{
      applications_dir
          Directory containing Applications installed from ports.
          Default: /Applications/MacPorts
 }}}
 but I am not sure that this is the current state, since the more recent
 installations I am using omit the "/MacPorts" subfolder when I start from
 scratch.

 So, I guess, either the man page needs an update here, or I am simply
 wrong for some reason.
