Comment (by stromnov@…):

 It's a rather bad practice to mix up several different package managers in
 one place (port and pip). If you, for example, manually install tornado
 using macports pip-3.5, then you can entirely break your macports
 installation due to dependency chain update (setuptools, certify and so
 on).

 So, it's preferably to install custom packages into separate dirs, or
 install custom packages using macports build system.
