 Replying to [comment:10 heapifyman@…]:
 > The problem seems to be that I am working as a non-admin user and have
 to invoke the port command with prepening sudo.

 Even admin users have to do that. Only the root user wouldn't have to do
 that, but nobody would log into a Mac as root.

 > As I am a lazy person I thought I'd add an alias to my ~/.profile like
 this:
 {{{
 alias port="sudo port"
 }}}
 > The problem described above only happens when this alias is active.
 Without the alias bash-completion works as expected.

 Then I would say this isn't something we need to fix.

 > Is there some other way to avoid typing sudo all the time when using
 port command?

 Nope; I typo `sudo` all the time too. Oh well.
