 From [comment:1 comment 1]:

 6. Make sure that all directories parts within /Applications/MacPorts/ are
 owned by root and there is no part which is writable by 'world' (for
 /Applications/MacPorts/ this seems to be the case already)

 It's probably worth doing the ownership check in post-activate and warn
 (but not chmod on the user) if ownership is incorrect
