Comment(by carsomyr@…):
I've reattached patch-Portfile.diff, which should now have checks for
"/Applications/MacPorts" (namely, that it and parent directories have
root:admin ownership).

Replying to [comment:21 ecronin@…]:
> My suggestion wasn't really intended to help the people cc:'d on this
ticket or people with fresh default installs of macports. But people with
non-standard install locations/permissions/ownership like pixilla had at
first or where something has gone and changed owner/permissions on a
default /opt (looking at you poorly built .pkgs) are just going to get the
very non-descriptive {{{Failed to load VMMR0.r0
(VERR_SUPLIB_OWNER_NOT_ROOT).}}} error when they go to run vbox the first
time. If instead pre-activate checks the ownership and permissions and
gives a useful human-understandable error message and dies you prevent
some future tickets being filed.
