New description:

 If I use require('some_module_installed_global') in my node.js projects,
 then:
 {{{
 Error: Cannot find module 'some_module_installed_global'
 }}}

 Which modules install in /opt/local/lib/node_modules/, but $NODE_PATH not
 properly sets.

Comment:

 This sounds like not a MacPorts problem but a question of how nodejs and
 npm work. If you want to require() something in your project, then you're
 supposed to `npm install` the module locally, not globally, or else use
 `npm link`. Ask in a nodejs support venue if you have further questions.
