 This has always stymied me a bit. My /opt/local is a symlink to
 /Volumes/Debian/MacPorts (the partition name just stuck :) ), and AFAIK
 there's nothing in macports.conf that tells MacPorts that this is the
 case. Somewhere it does a symlink normalisation, but in any case I'm not
 using an additional Portfiles directory.
 Some ports install from prebuilt binaries, others are always rebuilt from
 source, and I've never yet tried to understand why (apart from the ports
 where the answer is obvious, like ffmpeg with non-free contributions).

 > I admit that this problem is rather puzzling, as neither I nor the bots
 can reproduce it. And as far as I can be aware, there has been no other
 report of this issue.

 As long as there's a binary build for 10.6 it's just that, a puzzle ...
 and I hope it'll remain that way!
