I did this manually a few weeks ago by looking at the MacPorts makefile,
and this definitely cleared things up. My machine's user account has been
migrated over the years from OS X Panther. I suspect the macports user
account and group got created a long time ago from an early form of
MacPorts and ended up with a group ID of 20, which is also used for staff.
For some reason, Mavericks resolves the duplicate ID dilemma differently
than previous versions of OX X and so I was never really aware of it. But
once I cleaned up the user ID and group ID so that they were unique,
things now behave themselves.
