#41039: Installing MacPorts on Mavericks Renames "staff" Group To "macports"

Comment (by roberthuston@…):
Digging more into the installer targets of the MacPorts project Makefile,
the installation process creates a MacPorts user and a macports group. The
user ID will be the next available ID, but the group ID ends up being 20,
which is also the same ID used for staff.
Is this a misuse of gid's or is it the correct UNIX way. Either way, I
sometimes see things as "staff" and other times as "macports," usually
after running the port command itself.
