Comment:

 OK, something other than the macports build system must have set the admin
 group on your prefix then. The makefile wouldn't have been able to chgrp
 it when installing, just as shown in your selfupdate log.

 The user and group used when selfupdating are taken from the current
 prefix ownership, so if you chgrp the prefix to a group you are a member
 of, it should then work.
