Comment:

 Please do net set priority to "high", as this is reserved for developers
 as per the Ticket Guidelines prominently linked from the "New Tickets"
 page.

 MacPorts itself does not do any password handling or privilege management
 itself. It is likely that what you see is actually your sudo binary asking
 you for a password before granting super-user rights. Despite your belief
 that your computer is not password protected you probably only have the
 automatic login feature enabled. Your account still has a password and
 sudo requires typing this password (it also requires your user to be an
 administrator user).

 You have attached the MacPorts installer dmg, not a picture of the issue
 you're seeing.

 Note that the bug tracker should not be used for support requests; you
 should have posted to the MacPorts-users mailinglist, see MailingLists.
