Comment(by captainproton1971@…):

 Aha!  I think you've hit on it -- permissions on dscl.  I had restricted
 these permissions a while back to mitigate a potential password exposure
 vulnerability (and, of course, had forgotten that I had done it).  This
 must have been interfering with the configuration script run by MacPorts.

 I'm a little unclear as to why dscl worked when I ran the script manually
 while it didn't through MacPorts -- does the port system drop privileges
 when building?

 Anyways, I've just completed the installation -- file this one as
 '''closed: submitter was an idiot'''

 And thanks.
