 The notes for port dnsmasq state:
 {{{
 dnsmasq has the following notes:
   A startup item has been generated that will aid in starting dnsmasq with
   launchd. You must specify the path to resolv.conf. For your protection,
 this
   script is disabled by default. Execute the following command to start
 it, and
   to cause it to launch at startup:

   sudo port load dnsmasq
 }}}

 However after a successfull installation or upgrade of dnsmasq the startup
 item gets loaded regardless of entering the load command.[[BR]]
 The startup item gets loaded under the launched of user root after the
 first reboot of the system when dnsmasq is installed or upgraded.[[BR]]
 [[BR]]
 As workaround one could immediately disable dnsmasqs startup item after
 first reboot using the unload command.
 {{{
 sudo port unload dnsmasq
 }}}
 The startup item will stay disabled until it gets loaded trough the load
 command.
