 Replying to [comment:3 john@…]:
 > I'm a little nervous because upstream doesn't use absolute paths for
 anything, which I naively imagine means it would be easy for something
 incompatible (or even malicious) to sneak its way onto your `$PATH` and
 cause havoc.

 MacPorts sanitizes PATH and other environment variables. The only way
 something weird could get into PATH is if the user deliberately modifies
 the binpath setting in their macports.conf, and there's a comment in that
 file discouraging that practice.
