Comment(by cquiter@…):

 Thanks, I looked at (#28452, #30298) but noticed they had other errors in
 their config.log that I don't have. I tried moving /usr/local then
 building as well as installing with the disk image, but no luck.

 Installing with the disk image causes a bash process to run at 33% CPU for
 at least an hour until I reboot the system.

 I should note that MacPorts installed correctly and started acting up only
 after I tried to install python bindings for opencv. I tried to reinstall.
 Then I tried to uninstall/reinstall. However, I get the same result. I
 also tried removing MacPorts from the .profile.

 I tried installing the 2.1.0 .pkg and the package says it installs (no CPU
 problems) but when I use port I get errors about /opt/local/etc/macports
 files. After copying defaults I get:

 {{{
 Craigs-MacBook-Pro:~ cquiter$ port
 Warning: No index(es) found! Have you synced your source indexes?
 port registry doesn't exist at
 "/opt/local/var/macports/registry/registry.db" and couldn't write to this
 location
     while executing
 "registry::open $db_path"
     (procedure "mportinit" line 633)
     invoked from within
 "mportinit ui_options global_options global_variations"
 Error: /opt/local/bin/port: Failed to initialize MacPorts, port registry
 doesn't exist at "/opt/local/var/macports/registry/registry.db" and
 couldn't write to this location
 }}}

 I get the same error about the Foundation implementation when building
 2.1.0-beta1.

 Also, I have Foundation.framework but not Foundation.h. Reinstall OS X,
 really?!

 whether version 2.1.0 beta 1 works better, but I don't recall us making
 any changes with regard to this configure check so I doubt it.
